Mud season - ugh

Image
 The snow is melting, the roads are horrid, but the tourists haven't descended yet.  I think we have another month of calm.   Update on the closure of Camp Bird Road at Senator Gulch:  the county was going to contract with a company to do mitigation, taking down imminent rockfall and repairing the road, but I've not seen nor heard anything that suggests it's started.  This could impact traffic on Camp Bird Road in a good way for us but not so good for people wanting to go over to Telluride the hard way. Mike and I are heading to Hobe Sound, Florida on Tuesday to visit Barb and Steve for a few days.  We deliberately chose this time so as to get away from the mud.   I have a flower on my geranium!

O ye of little faith

 Second post in two days, but I knew you all would want to know that we got two inches of snow overnight and - wait for it! - 10 additional inches today, for a total of a foot of snow.  I swear on everything that is sacred to me that this is not an April Fool's joke!  That puts our total for the season at 131 inches.  Years 21-22 and 23-24, we had 131 inches for the season.  There are more chances for snow through Saturday. my official measuring station Head's up that some of Camp Bird Road has eroded and signs are up around mile marker 1.  This is far below Sandy and Larry's house, where we have all seen the erosion.
