Like we stated earlier, we had pulled into Lake Pueblo State Park about 10 pm last night. We picked a loop in the park that is quite popular, probably because it is close to the reservoir. Although we can not see the water from our spot (as we got a pull through) if we look over someone else's camp we can see it.

We took some pictures this morning of Yucca Flats Loop L Site 151 (I had wanted 161 but there was a tree over where we would place the rig, so that was not do-able.) Also the guide that we were looking at said no shade, but that is not true here, there are trees all over and several shady spots.

I have been playing with the thumbnail sized pictures and have begun to make them larger so that you can actually see the picture.

This picture is the view that we have looking out to Lake Pueblo. There are definitely some wildlife around here, we have been seeing cottontails all over (they are a little quick for the camera) and saw some quail just walking around. We took a little walk over to the ranger station to pay for last night and for tonight. $16 each night, seems a little high as we have to pay for the showers, but we will see how other places - what their prices are.
 

	Here is another view of the lake and the cliffs of limestone.
	While we were walking along, we came to this slight ridge and as far as you could see, suburbia! No wonder this is one of the most popular state parks in Colorado. They get over 1.5 million visitors a year, probably all on the lake. Thankfully, we are here during the week and in the fall, so there are not very many people here now.
	There is an Amphitheater at the park and it is really cool - it has a sun dial on the one side and a compass on the other side, plus ways to see the movements of the sun (see next picture)
	This diagram explains the amphitheater better and how they have laid out the seats and the poles to see the solstices and the equinox.

	Bunny rabbit right outside our window. Sasha went off on his motorcycle, after trying for an HOUR to get mine to start. Very frustrating for him. I can hear him driving around somewhere.

Last night September 7th was a little bit of a disappointment but the first part of the night was great. Sasha cooked hamburgers on the fire that he made - got it nice and roaring - and they have grill tops here, so the hamburgers and pitas went right into the grill. We sliced up a tomato, and had a beer each and when we were done, we were looking at the fire for a little while.

All of a sudden, it got dark and the winds totally picked up - gusting in fact. So I quickly got all of the food stuff together and made it back to our campsite (we were at another campsite since our fire ring was so close to the rig, it was scary to have a fire there.) We had taken a bunch of stuff out of the trailer and so we had to mash it all back in (we were afraid that it was going to pour.) We put out the fire with a couple of buckets of water and left the rest of the firewood there for others to take.  We took showers and went to bed without marshmallows.

We got up on Friday, left the campground around 1115 and we are going to a Wal-Mart to stock up. We will be off-line for a while, as we are going into an area that does not get service with either the cell phones or air cards. We will report back in on Tuesday, when I go into town for supplies and to do some work.
