Road Trip 1st Weekend in May

 

Road Trip

No politics. We have a family gathering the first weekend of May in the town of Maybell, CO, population >500 most days. Not a reunion, we aren’t that organized. My previous post explains the horse drive. This post is random photos with comments. The header picture is the North End of Rocky Mountain National Park taken near the summit of Cameron Pass on CO 14.

 Family Cemetery

Some 42 of us this year were at the cemetery to watch a headstone be placed and visit graves. This year, no ashes needed to be scattered/buried thankfully.

In this series, four generations are present.

My father’s grave. It remains the home of a badger that, over the years, has resisted all attempts to displace him. My sister and I are not concerned; we know our Dad would be laughing his ass off.

North Park

I need a wide angle lens. This place has a strong place in my memories from several summers spent bucking bales for relatives. On my mother’s side, her grandfather was an early settler.

Not my usual post. Hope you find it of interest.

 AS always, YMMV
