May 23-25, 2015 Fort Collins, Colorado

The good news is that Cummins called and said that the temperature sensor on the engine was bad. So maybe the bus does not need a new radiator! Maybe we will get out of here soon. Maybe.

My brother Jerry drove up and had dinner with us. John, Sue and Jerry at Lulu’s Chinese restaurant.  I decided the flower piece needed something, so I added some forget me not’s. It still needs to be painted and slumped, but it is getting there.

It was sunny all morning. I rode my bike up to McMurray ponds and saw all these. Pink flowers, salsify, pink flowering bush, spurge, a toad, either chock cherries or wild plums- depending if this is a bush or not full grown tree, blue chicory, and a bunny with grass.

The river is so high that the McMurray ponds are now part of the river. This afternoon John joined friends kayaking. I went along to run the shuttle. John Gross, John Moran and Mandy at the put in.

John Gross and Gary went back up for a second run. John Gross surfing a wave, then Gary joined him  on the same wave.

Then Gary did tricks. Look Ma, no paddle, look ma- one handed no paddle!
