COLORADO

CODYS SUMMER VACATION is over. Last weekend we packed his things and drove up to Fort Collins so that he could start on his third year Vet School at CSU. We left Saturday and I flew back on Monday.
We took a 5 hour detour and got into Fort Collins 15 hours after starting our journey. We went Snowflake-Gallup-Durango-Silverton-Montrose-Gunnison-Salida-Leadville-Denver-Fort Collins. I am so glad I went, it was amazing!

THE DRIVE

JUST OUTSIDE MONARCH







CLIFF FACE OUTSIDE Ouray, nicknamed the Switzerland of America. So true, Ouray sits snugly tucked into Alp like mountains.



NEAR MONTROSE



EISENHOWER TUNNEL








CODYS LIFE

WHERE HE "LIVES"







A RUMENFISTULA - THIS spoiled famous little cow has on its side what is called a rumenfistula. This hole allows students to reach in and feel the stomach of a cow, the unique to bovine part that allows the fermentation of feed.



WYOMING

THE MOST UNCLOSTRAPHOBIC I have ever felt in my life. Something invisible and free identifying with my insides; every microscopic crevise leaving no space untouched. Every excuse to stay longer. Every blade of golden grass needed to fit into my luggage lasting years until my permenant return. When I left Wyoming I left my home.





THE STREETS OF Cheyenne



THE CAPITOL



AN OBSESSION







AND BACK

FLYING OVER THE Rocky Mountains (BUMPY!!!)
