    Starting our last morning at St Vrain State Park with sunshine and blue skies dotted with puffy clouds was a nice surprise. That the temperature quickly warmed up from the low 40F range to 50F (in the sun) was an added bonus.

    Considering what’s going on with the California and Oregon wildfires, I feel guilty mentioning that there was no sign of any smoke from the fires here in Colorado ... at least today. Thinking of our friends dealing with those to-us-more-distant-fires made our enjoyment of the day bittersweet.

    It would have been a shame to waste such a beautiful morning. So, after preparing the Cruiser for the road, we went for a walk around Blue Heron Reservoir, probably the largest of the 14 or so bodies of water in the park. Though it was only 54F, the sun did a good job of keeping us warm so that no bundling up was necessary.

    It felt good to stretch our legs before today’s drive home.    Leia mais
