Searching for that First Sunset

I'm Back!  And so are the twins!  We crossed the Colorado state line at 12:15 and got settled in here at South Fork by around 3:00 p.m. -- including a trip to the local liquor store to get that first 6-pack of Colorado Native and a stop at the Rainbow Grocery to get that fishing license for this season.  When we passed through Del Norte, we hit a rain/sleet storm and I thought for sure that it looked like I would be unhooking the Jeep and backing the RV into my spot next to the cabins in the rain.  Fortunately, there was a break in the clouds and I only had to deal with a few sprinkles.

 

After enjoying a leftover hamburger and hot dog with some chips and milk, I settled into the passenger's leather seat to enjoy one of those amber lagers and watched the mule deer come wandering through the campground like last year.  The breezes and rain started again and periodically the sun came and went as the day wound down -- had been hoping to see a beautiful sunset at the end of the day but, the best I could get was some color and little bit of sunlight from the canyon toward Creede.

Awoke to much chillier temps than we had in Albuquerque but, the forecast is calling for improving temps into the 70s early next week.  Not too many clouds this morning so will get things out of the Jeep and dig out those little mini-spincasters and tie on a lure -- make a trip up to pass lake and sneak a peak at Beaver Creek Reservoir on the way.
