ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK

We arrived in La Salle, Colorado on July 16th at Lighthouse Community Church.  We are the only RV MAPS workers here.  I will post later about our work and pictures.  There has been a delay in the Fort Morgan project, but we are scheduled to be there this Thursday unless there are more delays.  It is only about an hour away from our present location.

We were able to have supper with Allan's cousin, Lorraine Seger at Olive Garden last week.  We haven't seen her in a few years.  Had a really nice catch up conversation over our meal.

Before heading to Estes Park we went into Greeley to visit the Farmer's Market for the special reason of buying some fresh vegetables.  This was one of the largest Farmer's Markets we have seen, but not a farmer in sight.  It did have some very talented artists which included photography, paintings, metal work, and ceramics.

Saturday Allan and I drove to Rocky Mountain National Park.  We have been there several times but it is always nice to return.  Estes Park appeared to be full of tourists as there were many no vacancy signs.  There was still some snow in the higher elevations. There were no elk in town, but we did see quite a few scattered on top of the mountains.  Some were sleeping, but most were grazing.  The grass is very plentiful this year in the mountains.  The picture of Allan is on top at the visitor center.  Allan got a picture of two marmots who were playing together.   Clouds were rolling in when we reached the top.  On our way home the rain would catch up with us and then we would drive out of it and this went on throughout our trip.  After leaving Estes Park we ran across a herd of big horn sheep.  We were thrilled.
