Looking east into Green Water Valley. We got to the bump beside the top. The top looked too steep for us. John and Judy where we stopped and had breakfast. Judy with the map and John pointing the way down.

I don’t know the names of them all. My books are in the pod in Colorado now.

So many different kinds and a butterfly.
