Well, we are on the road again. We left early this morning from Creede, CO and went east on CO-160, the Navajo Trail, and it was such a nice drive. Very pretty mountains and valleys - so picturesque - you could just picture the early Indians living in this land. Of course, I was napping but Mom told me later. We went north when we got to I-25 and stopped for the night near Colorado Springs. Mom and Dad had some shopping they wanted to do here before we head up north all the way to Mt. Rushmore. I reminded them to get lots of cat food and treats for us on this trip so we wouldn’t be short!

We enjoyed our time in Creede but they do have unusual weather there. It was pretty cool (in the 40’s) in the mornings but we loved laying on our broad dash and soaking up the sun. The temperature would quickly rise into the 70’s by lunchtime and then it would rain during our afternoon nap. Some evenings the weather would get nice again and other times it would keep raining. Our Dad had to grill in the rain a couple times. We thought this weather must be unusual like much of what we have seen in Colorado but our Mom asked some nice folks she met who come here every year and they said this is all normal. Oh well, as long as we have some sun during the day we can bask in and nice enough weather for the birds to come out, the changes don't matter much to me.
