We woke up to snow flurries in Evergreen CO. The forecast
was for a foot or more at these higher elevations (Evergreen is around 8,000 ft.).
After a good breakfast with Judi and Ralph we leave and drive through snow
flurries and mountains to Garden of the Gods, near Colorado Springs. What an
amazing display of wind-sculpted, mostly red sandstone rock formations. In spite
of the misty rain, it is beautiful.
From Garden of the Gods, we continue on towards Wiley, Colorado,
to visit nephew Jeremy and his wife Emma. They live on a 17 acre plot and raise
chickens, goats, and bees. Emma is a researcher on hybrid onions, Jeremy teaches
English and German in the nearby Las Animas High School. It is good to get
updated on their lives and work and have such enjoyable interactions on many
issues of life and faith.
Tonight we are in a bed & breakfast in the nearby town
of Lamar. Tomorrow will be a long day of travel, 570miles in nearly nine hours, to Chambers,
Arizona, near the Petrified Forest National Park.
