some scenes from July August 2011


On the road somewhere south of Pueblo, Colorado.

Me, Walter, and Jay, grillin' up the zukes at Vedauwoo.
 

An intense game of nocturnal minigolf, at the prestigious Oasis Golf course in Laramie.

The LHS '87 gang with a remaining ~one third of a new world record Armenian cucumber.
 


Dad after the year's first Medicine Bow Pk ascent. I was not there. Are you kidding? That's like 13,000 feet high.


Sylvie and Juliet conquering a piece of quartzite in Libby Flats area, Browns Peak in distance.
 

A gorgeous Boletus gargantuan ssp. (one of several) near Julie Cole's house in Telluride.

Layne and Sylvie near the top of Great Sand Dunes NP.
 

Sylvie and Layne on the way up the dunes.

A nice hematite vein in Paleoproterozoic quartzite, Medicine Bows. What's your age guess?
 

View out the bathroom window of our motel room in my new favorite town: Salida, Colorado. You should see the view in the other direction. But this just looked so peaceful.

A little pre-alpenglow at Veedauwoo.
 

Sylvie's "girl car", near the top of Veedauwoo.

Time to bloom for the little pin cushion cacti back home.
