SILVERTON, CO
 |
| 58 miles |
Overly friendly squirrel. Ouray. Engineer wildflower hike. Overly friendly birds.
 |
| Peanuts? what peanuts? |
 |
| Squirrels stand up and take notice when a new camper rolls in... and sometimes they go IN a trailer door if it's left open. Oh yes. |
 |
| gimme gimme gimme dat |
 |
| Time to start the hike. Well lookie across this little lake, a deer. |
 |
| I looked back and noticed this rock formation which didn't look like a rock formation. I call it Lord of the Trail. Can you see it? |
 |
| Monkshood |
 |
| Busy bee on an indian paintbrush |
 |
| A gray jay aka "Camp Robber." As you can see they have no fear of humans. Much like a camp squirrel. |
 |
| Subalpine larkspur. |
 |
| Just about as far as we'll go today -- to the meadow on Engineer Mountain. |
 |
| Just a field of flowers. |
 |
| Got a bonus sight of this today, perfect. Guess I could never do this - how many times can you get on and off your horse for photos? I'd have to find my way back alone. |
 |
| Looking east from Engineer; I believe this is Electra Lake. |
 |
| Still at it. And now he's sitting to do his work. So many flowers, so little time. |
 |
| The next day we took a drive up to Ouray, past Silverton. This is Red Mountain(s). |
 |
| Notorious Highway 550, just before Ouray. Especially fun with a trailer, but not today. (Shoulders? we don't need no stinking shoulders.) |
 |
| The little town of Ouray. In two more years we'd be staying at that 4-J Campground sign in the pic. |
 |
| Back at camp, the TERROR continued... |
