Vandals


We need a neighborhood watch in Geronimo Campground!
Between 3:00 and 4:00 AM a hungry bear makes the rounds.
Pictured above and below is damage he/she has created.
He/She got a hefty taste of sugar water from the hummingbird feeder below
which assures a return visit.

Lance Armstrong


My friend Sherri from Atlantic Iowa rode in RAGBRAI.
For the unenlightened that is the Registers Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa.
It is world famous and this year Lance Armstrong was also a part of it.
Sherri took great pictures as always because she is an excellent photographer.
I take credit for the collage of her photos. ;-)

Bear Visit


We always hope that garbage pickup will take place after supper but sometimes it does not...
and the bears know. The raccoons and fox will also raid the cans but this one shows signs it was a bear.

Note the distance from the cans the trash was carried and it wasn't lightweight trash. The usual time the bears make their rounds is about 3:00 A M so sightings are rare.
