We are finally settled at Alamosa NWR, CO for the summer. We are parked at the headquarters with a great view of the still snow capped mountains. Ready to start work on Monday, June 1st. We will be working Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Once again, Mike's construction skills will be put to use. My main project is the annual Kid's Fishing Day. Just like when the kid's were younger, I get to solicit prizes and donations from the various local businesses.
So far we have seen the coyotes (and heard), huge rabbits, several coots, hawks and one golden eagle. Tuesday after the other volunteers arrive, we will be touring all 3 refuges which should be fun. Baca NWR is not open to the public and is reported to have several thousand ELK. Can't wait!!
We left Fentress on April 24th, spent 2 1/2 weeks with the kids before departing TX on May 11th. Spent a couple of nights in OK, then on to KS to leave the RV at the factory for some warranty work and new bigger wheels/tires. We left Smith Center, KS on May 14th headed for Las Vegas to spent a week with dear friends. It was such a hoot and so much fun!! I WON $55 at Blackjack. We did lots of sightseeing and hung out by the pool most evenings. Then back to Smith Center, KS to pick up the RV. It was "mostly" finished with just few things I wanted done better! It could have been a one day drive from Smith Center to Alamosa but it was raining SO HARD thru Kansas that we decided to stop just east of Colorado Springs for the night so we didn't have to tackle the mountains when we were tired. It wasn't bad driving 2 vehicles....I can have the radio as loud as I want and sing along all I want!!!
