Snow!

 Mueller State Park Colorado

We had 'thundersnow' today. I heard distant thunder at 7:00 am, so hurried to get the dogs outside for their morning potty. They are afraid of thunder. Just as Piper was squatting, a clap of thunder interrupted her, so I had to keep her walking until she found a 'safer' spot. Right after all three dogs got back inside the rig, it started to rain. The rain turned into fat snowflakes, and it snowed heavily for over two hours. Pretty, eh? The good thing about this altitude is that the snow melts quickly. I took the photo from our bedroom window.

Yesterday we drove down to the town of Woodland Park, 10 miles from here. It is a quaint town of about 6,000 people, and they have a Super Wal-Mart, so we stocked up. I got a haircut - she did a decent job. It is always a gamble going to different hair salons, but I figure its only hair, and it will grow back if I get a bad haircut. We haven't had any trouble finding walk-in hair cutting places.

Both Doug and I have colds and are congested. Today we are not doing much, but we do need to do laundry this afternoon. The camper services bldg has washing machines and dryers. So far the Colorado state parks that we have visited have all had laundry facilities - clean ones too.
