Harry and the Hendersons in Colorado






I know it has been quite a while since my last post. Just been busy. We arrived in Creede Co. Aug 29th. Pat, Steve, Doug and Mar greeted us. The park [Mountain View] had a BBQ dinner that evening celebrating ten years. Very tastee lots of good food and of course great fellowship. Harry and I did make it an early night a full day of driving can tire you.
The Henderson's flew into Durango to join us for the Labor Day weekend. We were able to take them to some of our favorites places. Pagosa Springs, Lake City, Wolf Creek pass and Pool table. Took a small train ride and stopped for a great catfish lunch. This area of Co. is very mountainous elevation can be as high 12,000 feet. Roads are very winding, turns can be sharp, but the view is so worth the trip. Many little side roads, will lead you to water falls that will take your breathe away. The many little critters AKA chipmunks beg for treats. We did get to see a couple of nice size deer. However after we had drove Wayne and Leslie to the airport. Harry and I saw wild turkeys and a doe and two fawns. Of course I did not have the camera ready. We did have 4 fun days with the Henderson but it went by all to fast. Our friendship goes way way back about 30 years.
Monday being Labor Day we decided we needed to be adventurous, the four of us Pat Steve Harry and I took a one hour guided horse ride. We had a blast, I can't say much for the horse. Our guide took us up a mountain trail that was a new area of landscape for us, this beauty never gets old. Our ride to short but we were ready get off the horse, now we know why cowboys are bow legged. We were very sore Tues. Just another thing we can scratch from our bucket list. Pat and Steve leave here Thursday they are heading to Indiana. Doug and Mar left Wed. they are heading home to Texas.
Harry and I will make a short drive to Priest Gulch Co. in Delores County, CO. Where will meet up with some more friends Coffmans, Cobbs, Hathcocks Our menu will be BLT, Bloody Marys, and Screw drivers. We all have our specialty Ricky cooks the bacon and if she was here we would let Kelly cooks the steaks because of her special crunchy seasoning. The rest of us just sit back and supervise.

Well love to all Be safe
