The plan was to hike to Emerald Lake today! The weather was crisp but the sun was out! Driving up we saw a few elk. I am afraid my pictures weren’t very good. They were walking in the woods so they were well camouflaged.

The second lake we were going to was called, Dream lake. Dream wasn’t in the cards as it was getting steeper and steeper and people were slipping and sliding all around us with tennis shoes on. One young man had brought his own boom box on his back so we could all appreciate the loud music! NOT! We made the decision to be content with our first lake! We had passed a Ranger and he wasn’t very encouraging for us to go farther. At our age, we don’t bounce as well.

Several of the campground/ RV Parks have had nice dog runs! Onyx particularly has enjoyed this one.
We found out Onyx was correct! We have not been camping alone! We are in the middle of a prairie dog town!
do they wreck havoc on your yard or a field!
Very easy question tonight…What animal was camouflaged in today’s photos? Remember, both Ken Flinders and Kaitlyn Dorr may not enter this one as they have already won a contest this trip. And go! We will be awaiting your answers!

Your photos are so real! I feel like I’m looking at a “coffee table” book that changes every morning! I love it. And you both look so happy it’s icing on the cake. M.E.
Thank you so much, Mary Ellen! What a nice compliment! You have followed us so faithfully! Thank you! Just a few more stops and we will be home❣️
A few??? I don’t think there’s snow where you call home…
You are definitely correct on that count. We will need to hire a billy goat to mow our lawn when we arrive home!
