Tuesday, we started out on the interstate, crossing into Colorado and planning to just go to the campground in Monument, CO on the interstate, through Denver. However, the campground called and asked if we would be in before 4:00, which we wouldn’t and they said we would be put on a different site and have to be moved to the long term site on Friday. So we opted to take the scenic route south, going through Buena Vista, CO and staying there 2 nights, then going on to Monument. Good choice. The drive was beautiful, the campground is nice, and we have enjoyed exploring the small ranch/mining town of Buena Vista. Today we took a stroll down main street, then went exploring on a county/forest service road. The aspen leaves were falling and blowing and piling up on the side of the roads. We saw lots of mule deer on the drive. Coming back, there were dozens in a field and someone’s private yard – huge bucks with huge racks. We stopped to take pictures and one of the bucks started walking towards the truck, jumped the fence, and came right up to the window. I could have touched him. I think he was anticipating food. Well, we plan to make it to Monument, just a bit south of Littleton (where Megan is) tomorrow. We will see.
My “friend” who jumped the fence and came up to the window.
