Day Log 07.01.05 Friday

Morning started at about 6:30 MST because body still thinks it is on the East Coast and needs to get up. Mary was able to sleep a little longer by telling me to be quiet. Breakfast from the snack bag means we do not have to rush today.

From the watching the news it seems we missed the storms going through the area by about half a day. Good to be ahead of the schedule sometimes.

We took the time this morning to do the laundry before starting out to see some of the area. At the end of the day we had traveled 190 miles seeing the desert, mountains, river, river-walk, evening concert on the river-walk and some great looks at the weather coming in but missing us. We took off west toward Pueblo West on US-50 going on up to Caron City then along another 25 miles west on 50 then back down county road 69 to Silver City then back along 96 up to Florence then Lincoln Park into the back side of Canon city along US-50 to Pueblo for the evening concert along the river-walk. All in a good day if not a restful day.



We saw mountain sites that invite a home on the hill side, large wide grass covered valley’s with a small stream just asking for someone to stop by and fish. Also in the same area were some very large ranches saying to most that land was taken and for a good price. From Pueblo West to Pentose really no one wants to live in the bare ground that looks like moon scape.

Had a good call from Lurane letting us know Anne would be at Aunt Flora’s so if we get to Clovis on the 12th we can see all of them. Hope we don’t interfere with things they have planned.

Well time to shut down for the night and think about getting up in the morning for the trip to camp.
This message will most likely be the last until we get out of camp next Friday morning. I will keep a daily log and what you get from me then will be more than you care to read.
