We were only home from Newport one day then off to Denver.This was the only way to schedule it and avoid driving through Nebraska in snow. The trip was largely uneventful with two exceptions. As we were about to leave Nebraska we went through a very bad rain storm with high winds. We got down to about 20 miles an hour with our four way flashers on. At our first chance we got off the highway, but by then it was pretty much over.
The other item was the Arch Monument. It just appears in the middle of nowhere, an imposing structure over the high way. We got off the road looked around but did not go in.

While in Denver we sent most of the time just visiting family. Karl my son-in-law tried to get Bronco tickets but even with his connections we had to settle for watching them win on TV. On Sunday afternoon we all went to The Garden of the Gods. It is a well organized state park whose principle asset is rocks. Very big rocks.

Rebecca and Karl live in Castle Pines just south of Denver. It is desert dry and barren. We have not seen any snakes but Rebecca and Karl have.This trip i did not see a coyote but Trish and Kelly did. It was right at their back fence about 100 feet from the house. i did see buffalo and elk. The buffalo are on farm land and belong to some one. The Elk are just wondering through. We drove to take the picture to walk would have taken about 15 minutes.
