As we traveled across Wolf Creek Pass, headed for Pagosa Springs, we enjoyed the changing of the colors - something we don't get to see too often. To us desert dwellers, "changing of the colors" is when the green saguaro cactus gets a white bloom at the top of each arm!
Pagosa is one of our favorite places to be. We typically stay at Wolf Creek Run but opted for a campground 5 miles west of town - Happy Camper RV Park. Not as nice, but the price was right!
On this golf course, not only did we see deer, but this cute little gray squirrel; and a flock of Canadian geese. I think they're in the process of flying south for the winter, but like Pagosa so much they're spending a little time there!
The best thing about Pagosa Springs is being able to visit with Russ' cousin, Bill Gorman, and his wife, Carolyn. Their winter home is in Plano, TX but they spend a lot of time enjoying this home they have built. Their dogs, Kelly and Lance, always give us a hearty barking welcome when we pay them a visit.
Seems like Bill always has some kind of project going on. Russ helped him lift a huge 6x6x10? beam to the top of the supports for the back porch.
We attended Mountain Heights Baptist Church on Sunday and were surprised to see our friends of 40+ years. Barbara and Ted Callin have recently bought a home in the area and we were their first guests!
This morning as we were preparing to leave Pagosa and head to Durango, Abby was a naughty girl. She always can sense when we're getting ready to move to a different camp. Russ was outside disconnecting electric, water, etc., and I left for about 5 minutes to take the trash to the dumpster. When I returned, I found our cell phone on the floor in 3 pieces, with teeth marks on front and back. She must have gone ballistic in those 5 minutes. Luckily, there was an Alltel store nearby. She has vented her anger during the summer, at being left alone, on 3 different TV remote controls...one of which we had to totally replace when we were in Grand Junction.

How beautiful, the colors of fall!
Is that my Dad being a "handyman" or was he just posing?
It's funny how you keep running into people you know. Ted and Barbara still look the same. Do they live there year round?
Shame on you Abby! You might want to get a soft sided muzzle to put on her when you are away. She can still drink with it on but can't chew. I'm sure it's cheaper than 3 remotes!
Did you guys work this hard when you were "working"?
You need to get Abbey her own phone. She has been texting Miley when you are gone.
