A twenty mile day. Stagecoach to Steamboat Springs. Drove to Hayden this afternoon to check out some sage grouse habitat. Didn’t find any sage grouse, but got some sandhill cranes.
Saturday
Our spot at Stagecoach.
Saturday
Another hot day in the high country. Eighty degrees. Moved from Kremmling to Stagecoach State Park outside Steamboat Springs. Fifty miles. The warm weather hasn’t managed to melt all the snow on Rabbit Ears Pass yet though.
Life on the road
Last Sunday we crossed the Continental Divide at the Eisenhower Tunnel. It rained and snowed, making a mess out of the coach. A rig wash costs $100. On Tuesday, Judy soaked in the hot springs, bought some stuff, and had a massage. $100. Wednesday, Judy washed the rig while I was at work. Life on the road.
Kremmling
No trip report to write from here. Nothing going on. The job went well. Enjoyed the commute back and forth to Hot Sulphur Springs. We wandered through some good pinon/juniper habitat. Nice birds. Prairie falcon, mountain bluebird, lark sparrow, brown creeper, No juniper titmouse though. We wandered through some good sage habitat. Sage thrasher, brewer’s sparrow, horned lark. Heard a sage sparrow, but never saw it. Nothing happened. Nothing to tell.
