Well here I am in Nevada having traveled through four states- some twice in the last couple days. Tomorrow I will do something I have been wanting to do for quite a while which is visit gold Butte but there has been so much that I'll save that for another post. The sites I have seen and visited, the hikes I've taken and the time I've spent with dear friends has been just so enjoyable and I feel very fortunate. The photos will explain or give you a feeling of most of it but one or two things that I have no pictures of. I will recap briefly. While in Colorado I spent an afternoon picking apples with my friends in this most beautiful canyon surrounded by Red Rock with an apple orchard in the middle and every animal from several dogs including two Great Pyrenees a couple pigs, some sheep, a whole bunch of chickens. The owner of the property lives in a beautiful yurt and most of the animals including the pigs seem to come and go as they please. But it is beautiful space! The other thing that I have no photos of that is worth mentioning is on a walk from my friend's house a couple of miles down their gravel road. As we were heading back, we were hit with a thunderstorm that was incredibly exciting and wonderful. Now that we're home and safe and sound, but was rather intense at the time! It moved in quickly. The thunder was extremely loud and the lightning striking way too close for comfort! It hailed and then it poured. But we'd made it home unscathed and were then able to breathe this eye relief and laugh about it. I will try to keep the pictures to a minimum but I make no promises. By the way, did you know that going from Colorado to Arizona you go through New Mexico for less than a minute?
