A very fat chipmunk at Swanee & Colleen's Bird & chipmunk feeding at Swanee & Colleen's

This is in a park at the Arkansas River in Buena Vista - they are all made of tiles - isn't it neat?

The arch to the Seven Falls
Think there is a deer in there

These are part of the 224 steps to get to the Falls

Having trouble uploading our pictures, again. Will get them when we can.
We had a wonderful time at Swanee & Colleen's. With no town close, Colleen fed us every night. On Monday, they had to go into Denver for a test & were held up - the test was scheduled for 3:15 & they didn't do it until 6. So, Swanee & Colleen stayed overnight in Denver.
On Tuesday, when they got back, they drove us to Buena Vista to a SKP luncheon. Met some new SKP's - to us - & some who had been at Casa Grande.
On Wednesday, we played hand & foot all afternoon - what fun.
We left on Thursday, and drove to Colorado Springs. Spent that afternoon doing laundry.
On Friday, we took the coach for a look at the brakes. It turned out to be a wheel seal. Didn't get done with that until 2. After, we went to see the Seven Falls. It is at the end of a box canyon. Really awesome drive back to it. The Falls were pretty, too. We got to take an elevator up to a viewing platform to see the falls.
