View From My Window (local version)!

Image
We were inspired by a group on Facebook named "View from my window" that asks people all over the world to post a photo taken from their home. The photos are a fascinating glimpse of where--and how--people live around the globe. Some folks have included a short message of hope about life during this pandemic. We thought we could do our own local version of "Views," so please enjoy all forty-one images below. Take your time; no need to rush through. As Pooh says: "Doing nothing often leads to the very best of something."

Grass fire near Mesa Antero; out now.

Image
Wendell and Mary went hiking in Browns Canyon National Monument this weekend. While eating lunch at one of the overlooks, they noticed plumes of smoke rising from the valley floor. They walked to a clearing with a better view and saw the smoke was from a grass fire east of 285 on CR270.  That is near the north entrance to Mesa Antero on the west side of 285 where they live.  They don't know how it started, but luckily it didn't grow into a major fire.

Early morning hike to top of Midland Hill.  Now I remember why I haven’t done this in awhile.  Hope everyone is enjoying getting out.  Aloha! (Editor's note: The Midland Hill hike is about 4.5 miles RT from the coffee shop, with 1600' vertical gain...enjoy!)

Aliens???

Image
Wendell and Mary hiked a trail in the Raspberry Gulch area near their home.  That trail intersects the Colorado Trail which they followed west towards Chalk Cliffs.  To their surprise the legend was true. There is an alien's face carved into the side of Chalk Cliffs!

The NBA has nothing on Marge and Dick!

Image
Marge and Dick challenge you to a game of HORSE! However, you have to BYOB (basketball and any other "B" word you can think of that fits here) to play... It's hard to tell, but in the picture below, I think Marge is getting ready to dunk! Contact them directly by email (let me know if you need their email address) if you want a chance to play in the HORSE championship... This could be big!
