Any botanist knows that.
Monday evening, I called my boss and told him he wouldn't see me Tuesday.
I packed up some food & a dog and drove up to 7000 Ft. It was 35º cooler. It was like driving 400 miles north.

The campground was empty.That was great as I could let my dog run loose.

Early morning Tuesday

I think she was looking for bears.

The TD is actually level; one old Model A jack at the rear corner.

The road home

Now the plan was to go home, drop the TD & head for the swimming hole.
I didn't make it. About 10 I was overcome with Nap Time so here's a couple of pictures from a couple of days earlier.
