Boulder CO Trip

'Nother work day

Today is most likely the prettiest day we have had here since arriving. The sky is clear. The breezes are light. It is not at all unusual to have rain every afternoon in some form or another. But it is usually brief. I do not mind as it settles the dust.

Last night we caught some boys with nets trying to snag a hummingbird. We stopped that in short order only to have a couple of different boys trying to do the same with their shirts! I am sure it has happened before we just weren't around to see it. Distressing.

Last Thursday I went on a staff trip to the Celestial Seasonings Factory. It is in Boulder CO and the only one in the world. Any Celestial Seasonings teas that you see are manufactured in Boulder. They make 50 million teabags a day and ship all over the world in about 7 languages on the packaging. Canada is their biggest consumer. It was a great trip. Very interesting. That was followed by a trip to the Leanin' Tree Art Museum. Both places restrict cameras but I got what I could and will put them in a smilebox album.

Work?

We work 3 days on 4 days off. It hardly seems like work. It will more so when the campground is busier. With this cool weather that may not happen soon. 'Nother subject. Yesterday was Butch's birthday and we went to the Brickhouse 40 in Granby to eat with friends Mike and Sharon Bryce and Marilynn & Sam Wilson. Butch was surprised with a big birthday cake after we returned to SMR. Earlier in the day Butch golfed with Mike. So he had a happy Birthday.
Tonight I am offering a Swedish weaving class. Hey, perfect weather to have a nice warm project on your lap.

Wild Night.

There was a knock on our door at 3:20 AM. Some people in the campground lost a member of their group. She had went to the bathroom about 2:15 and did not return to her camp site. Her half a glass of beer was still in the bathroom. Starting to get the picture? She had attended a friends wedding on Saturday evening. After the wedding they were sitting around the campfire drinking beer. She needed to use the restroom so with a flashlight and by herself she went to the restroom. After she did not come back her friends started to look for her and then when they couldn't find her they woke us up. So at 3:30 AM we were wandering around the campground looking for her. 33years old, Hispanic,blue jeans, boots, turquoise vest, striped shirt, pink hat. Did not find her. They called law enforcement. She finally turned up and quite a distance from the campground. She had gotten lost and found an open car got in and went to sleep. Woke up after about 3-4 hours and tried to find her way back to the campground and was spotted by someone who had only begun looking for her. We saw her after she was found. Still pretty drunk. Oh and by the way the temperature was 30 degrees....and there ARE mountain lions here abouts...and bears...and moose.
