Colorado, Blue Mesa Ranch, Gunnison Aug 29 - Sept 12

Blue Mesa Ranch, a Western Horizon campground west of Gunnison, CO about 10 miles.   This is our Western Horizons home park, we've had a lot of good times here.


When we're in this area one of our favorite things to do is take a drive to Mt Crested Butte and into the mountains above it.  This year we missed the summer flowers and the aspen have not yet changed color but it's still a beautiful drive.

The dogs love it here too, we tried to keep them dry but it didn't work.




We did see the start of some Fall color.

Look close there is a bee down in this bud.

Had to look hard for this color.


Flowers outside the Crested Butte visitor center

Crested Butte City hall.

There was an art market downtown the day we were there and a group of naturalists had a booth with a few birds.  We both really liked this screech owl.

This guy is a peregrine falcon.

The cloud formations have been so beautiful this summer.
Thought it was just Wyoming but here they are in Colorado too.

Every Labor Day weekend Blue Mesa Ranch RV park sponsor's a luau.  We were just relaxing enjoying the day.

Marty's just waiting for a photo opp.


White-lined Sphinx Hummingbird Moths
This picture I got off the Internet, to show how interesting they are.
These next few pictures we took of the hummingbird moths at the adult clubhouse just a few feet away from our RV.


This is one of the sunrise pictures Marty took.
Getting up this early in the morning was something new for him.
It was sad to see the water level being down 72 feet.  
The lake was so low, it made the Gunnison River almost impossible to kayak.
 Fred and Carmen.  Fred had a very nice boat.  I sure did enjoy fishing with him.
 Not a bad day of fishing.  
This is a nice bunch of fish.  Marty got the six big ones, and Fred got the other two.

Fred and his friend Carmen. It was fun fishing with both of them, even if it rained all day.
