Allan took a picture of a beautiful sunset while we were still in Fort Morgan.
I got a picture of a storm building in the clouds. Most of the nights we could look out our window and watch storms off in the distance producing a lightning show.
They have so many trains here and long ones I might add. I could not get the effect of the length so got a picture of two engines that were pulling the long train.
Since we had to wait on the church to be reframed, we moved back to La Salle to work on that project. It continued to be very hot.
On one weekend we decided to go back to Rocky Mountain National Park and drive the dirt road (Fall Rivers Road) up to the top.
This is not as picturesque as the main road, but we are glad we took this road. It had a totally different look. A stream followed the road most of the way.
We did see one bull elk.
We usually just go to Estes Park, drive to the top of the mountain to the visitor center and then return back to Estes Park. While at the top we decided to take the road down the other side of the mountain. It is not as pretty to me, but it has a different look, too. There are quite a few lakes in the area.
We saw a large crowd stopping in an area which usually means wildlife. Sure enough, it was a mama and baby moose taking a rest under the trees. I am not sure how much rest they were getting with all those people around. This time people were using their brains and not getting too close.
We drove back to the top of the mountain and saw several large herds of elk and big horn sheep.
We drove back to Estes Park and found, not an unusual sight, of several elk roaming in neighborhoods. If you notice one has a tag with a radio. They must be tracking her.
And in the same neighborhood I noticed this horse. Just had to take a picture.
