The river rapids were surging with snowmelt, and the water rushed around sharp corners and tumbled on down the canyon. We arrived in Estes Park in a few hours, and setup our rig at the Blue Arrow campground. We are parked at over 7,500 feet above sea level, about eight miles east of the continental divide. It is still early spring here. Deciduous trees are just beginning to leaf out.
Nights are down to the forties.
It snowed here last week. It begins this afternoon and continues through the weekend. We will stay a few days later to catch up on writing and work but also to be joined for a few days by Annette's parents and her sister, Arrion. We will spend some time together celebrating Bill and Nancy's 40th wedding anniversary. Monday, May 24th Our conference ended this morning.
