Trip Day 3

Here we are.

We arrived in Boulder where it is hot & sticky. 5 minutes ago it was raining which of course was just enough to turn the dust on the car into mud.

That’s bad enough… But a few minutes of rain on hot asphalt was like dumping the ladle of water on the hot rocks in a sauna.

The humidity is now worse than anything I ever saw in FL.

As evening falls it will probably cool off… but not by much.

I was so focused on getting here that I didn’t stop to take any pictures yet today and probably won’t.

Tomorrow I’m sure that there will be time to wander and do the photography thing.

In the mean time… I’ll share some of the other photos from the fort yesterday.

The lady giving the tour was sweet and even though it was very hot the poor dear would hear nothing of cutting the tour a little short. She is 80 and while she may not walk fast, she gets around that place alright. I was seeing signs of dehydration and began to be concerned about her.

At the end, I shook her hand and wished her well. I also suggested that she go inside and have a nice cool drink of water.

I have to give the LDS church a lot of credit for this too. Everyone has a wonderful work ethic, and the church does find ways for their elderly to be useful for as long as they wish to or are able.

I have a lot of respect for that.

No, I’m not likely to convert… They’d have a hard time with any number of aspects of me.

I do tend to ask too many questions.
