We have been in Colorado since the 24th of July. We are getting settled into our campsite and job of cleaning the beach area. The weather has been warm during the days, but cools off enough at night that we are able to open windows and enjoy the mountain breeze. We are parked in the Volunteer Staff Parking. This is the back side view of our spot.
I can't seem to get this to turn the right way, but it's the layout of the campground. Toward the bottom right there is a road labeled, "Staff". We are the first campsite on the left.
Cherry Creek Reservoir was built by the Army Corps of Engineers as part of a project to protect downtown Denver from floods.
The blue dot is where we are parked in relationship to the lake.
The Park Rangers had a pot luck for all of the volunteers in one of the picnic areas this past week.
They gave us a tour of the new Wildlife Center that is in a building right on the beach.
There's all sorts of wild life in the park. We drove past these three bucks having lunch together.
This wood pecker was actually just picking bugs off the ground before flying up to pose for me in the tree.
The rabbit that you can hardly see at the base of the picnic table dug a little indent and spends hours out there each day.
We had a special visit from Ray and Midge this past Sunday. Our grand daughter, Kyra, got back from her Mission trip to Alaska in time for lunch together.

We are happy to have time with family and friends. We hope to spend time with all of you while we are here.
The next question is, how long will we be here?
We spoke with Karl (our boss) today. The State Park closes the beach area after Labor Day weekend. He asked us if we wanted to stay longer and if so, he would find something for us to do. We hope to stay until the end of September, but there is nothing for certain, as yet.
Blessings,
Kathy
