The great elk attack of 2018. I wrote about it here.

An angry momma elk seeking to punish me for invading her space, me thinking I was okay because I was just walking along a paved public path in Estes Park. This summer, on our trip to Colorado, we revisited Estes Park and walked that trail again.
Same warning sign.
Same spot along the trail.
No elk. A much less-stressful walk this time.
Gymnastics.
Arie.
Ayla.
Cool desert nights. Warm sunny days.
Arrived in time for a volleyball game.
That’s Arie on the right side of this photo.
She’s not the biggest player on the team.
Matt and Lindsay already had dinner plans with friends so from their house we migrated to Steve and Lori’s. Steve and Lori, Lindsay’s parents, have a guest casita we can stay in. Judy made grungy tacos for the four of us for dinner then Judy and I settled in to the casita.
Living the life.
There is a big batch of winter weather here in the west. 35 degrees in Las Cruces and way colder to the north. People in cars are trapped in blizzard conditions in Northeastern New Mexico. It’s snowing in Colorado.
Through Texas Canyon.
We were going to go farther today but got stuck in a very slow 75 mile detour. There was a truck rollover on Interstate 10, and the only way around was through Hachita to the south, through Animas to Rodeo to the west, then back up north to the Interstate. There were stop signs in each town that slowed down the steady flow. Stopped in Benson, AZ for the night.
Saguaro.
Cane Cholla.
Not a cloud.
Freezing weather tonight. We’re staying warm in our little rolling home.
