Mountain Bluebirds, Bullock's Orioles, Western and Cassin's Kingbirds, Red Tail Hawks, hummingbirds, and Red-Wing Blackbirds provided a colorful backdrop for our morning coffee/tea ritual. It was lovely sitting outside Beluga in the fresh morning air watching the aerobatic show as the birds chased their meals, or simply sat on the wire fence next to us to rest.
After lunch Dave thought 18 holes sounded good, so we drove about a mile to a small, local golf club called HollyDot. They were so nice and very accommodating to us. We didn't need a tee time, just "come on over when you're ready", and they didn't charge for me to ride along. Dave thought it was a great little course, not easy, but not too hard. It was obvious that they hadn't seen rain in a long time, the ball bounced on the fairways like it was hitting the cart path! The cart path....hmmm, what can I say about the cart path. "Path" as exactly what it was, not paved, just a rutted, dusty, suggested path to follow. Good thing the golf cart didn't have much power or we'd have been thrown clear many times! Dave played very well and we both really enjoyed our afternoon.

The mountain in the background is none other than our own Greenhorn Mountain. We see it from our campsite everyday and love to watch the sunlight and shadows play on it. |
