Memorial Day weekend
Chatfield State Park, Colorado
The campground is full for the Memorial Day weekend. There are a lot of pop-up campers with young families, and most of the license plates are local. A little boy, I'd guess 7 years old, was running around this morning chasing the geese that frequent the campground. The geese let him get about 10 feet away before they ran; finally one flew, much to the boy's delight. When we walk the dogs, we can generally get no closer than 30 feet before the geese walk away. Life here must be good for geese -- lots of water and probably food crumbs from the campers.
Last night there were lots of campfires, some pretty large. I imagine a good amount of s'mores were consumed. Of course there was someone playing loud music to spoil the sounds of nature. I like watching the families enjoying their weekend, but we'll be glad to see them go home too, so us old fogies can have relative peace and quiet.
There are lots of boaters for the long weekend too. Yesterday we rode over to the marina area to watch the boats -- I like the sailboats best. In another life maybe I'll be a sailor; not in this one!
After a few windy days, the weather here is gorgeous, sunny and mild. Family nearby, mountain views, great weather -- life doesn't get much better.
