Sangre de Cristo Mountains in the distance, the Dunes huddle at their feet.
had a great weekend down at the ranch in the san luis valley -- we have settled a little more into boulder and have started to enjoy the benefits of being able to walk to happy hour and stroll around nice neighborhoods wondering how people make their money. All of these things have major benefits, but it was so nice to be reminded of what quite sounds like. Driving out of the front range is like taking your self out off the fronts lines of life. We got to drive in a rented 4-runner courtesy of an unmentioned conservation minded 501C3; sweet ride.
i got my true red neck colors this weekend when i discovered the joys of the 4-wheeler. Seriously, I am in love. Its the kind of love i experienced when i discovered clinging to an inner tube tied to the back of a speed boat. This activity is probably more destructive to ecosystems and i cannot recommend it with a clear conscious, but if you have to do it, have fun.

its also calving season. saw lots of new babies being popped out; they just lay down and pop them out. Also saw a lot of problematic births with these first time moms. We helped pull one that didn't make it out and feed some newer ones colostrum they weren't getting colostrum or milk from their exhausted mothers.
