Steve and Judy's Travels!

  “Austin.  Look up and smile.  Grandpa is going to take our picture.”    

   

    A short drive north.  All set up south of Denver.  Had to let the velvet buck mule deer get up off our pad so we could park on it.  Robin nest in the tree outside our bedroom window.  An afternoon storm.   1,185 miles from Port A.  A birthday party for Alex.  The picture of Alex and Austin; I’d call it Little Matt, and…. Little Matt.   Tomorrow…  We stay here a week and visit with Matt and the boys.

  Morning bird list:   Red tailed hawk Mourning dove Broad tailed hummingbird Say’s phoebe Black billed magpie American crow Mountain chickadee Blue gray gnatcatcher Western bluebird American robin Spotted towhee Chipping sparrow Vesper sparrow Grasshopper sparrow Western meadowlark House finch Lesser goldfinch   Not an impressive number of birds, but different ones than we’ve been seeing.    

  A drive west on US Highway 50.  Right turn on Interstate 25 at Pueblo.  Stop at the state park just south of Colorado Springs.   A milder weather day.  At the edge of the mountains, afternoon showers cooled it down.  Back to that Colorado sky.   1,115 miles from Port A.  Elevation 6,100 feet   Tomorrow… North.
