It’s on the side of a hill; entrance at the top, Colorado River at the bottom. On the other side of the river, the train track; a model train builder’s dream; train tracks winding along the river approaching a sheer cliff with tunnels. A cool cloudy fifty degree day today with rain showers and a breeze blowing the pine siskins on and off the bird feeder like leaves in the fall. Just watched a news feature about the Independence Pass road finally opening today (instead of Memorial Day), amid thirty foot drifts while it snowed sideways on the reporter. There is such a common chant in Colorado about needing more rain in the summer and more snow in the winter. This has been a very good precipitation winter for Colorado.
