June 22, 2014 Poudre River, Colorado

We are close enough to Fort Collins that our friends can come up and boat and visit with us. OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA         OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

This great vintage GMC bus parked next to us in the campground. The inside is the original retro browns and harvest golds, in great shape. Ended up to be a group of boaters that John knew.  John joined another group of boaters from Fort Collins for a class IV run-Rustic to upper narrows campground. Gary Breuner and the front of John’s boat.

Mandy arrived and she and I boated a more sedate section of the river closer to camp. Mandy in her cute little Jackson at the put in and me in my big fat rubber duck heading out onto the river.

After boating snacks at Gary and Lea’s campsite at Upper Narrows campground-the take out. John, Lea, Gary, Claire and Dave. Later back at our camp it rained hard, with the sun out. If you look close you can see the rain.

After it cleared John cooked dinner. It is so green and beautiful out. Still early spring in the mountains. The hummingbirds don’t mind that I melted and deformed the feeder pouring boiling water into it. All four spots full and one waiting. Even had hummers fighting over it. They are so cute. I was sitting so close that I could see them licking their lips between drinks.
