I can't believe I have not possted anything in about a month. When I left the Bend Distillery (Oregon) I traveled to Boise, ID, and stayed at a nice winery. Then I stayed in Provo, UT, before going to Montrose, CO. After one night at the Elks' Club in Montrose, I spent two weeks near Gunnison, CO. Jim & Pat's grandchildren (Chris & Danielle) came and stayed for 10 days and we had a great time. We took a trip on the Gunnison River, went horseback riding several times and did lots of swimming.
Then we all came back to Colorado Springs so Chris and Dani could start school.
I had hoped to post some pictures of the boat ride and horseback riding, but I can't seem to get the system to work today.
Warmest regards, Gus
I am at Thousand Trails, Medina Lake, Texas, and the deer are abundant. Today I was feeding some of them just outside the motor home. At first, they were hesitant to come close to me, but the smell of food (alfalfa pellets) was just too much to withstand. 
Betty and I are waiting for the kids to come by for their treats (or tricks). It was real easy to give out the candy, since all the kids were on two flat-bed trailers and everyone was given candy in about 10 minutes. There were about 50 kids and their parents on the trailers. 
Today I had a chance to have lunch with Porcia Vaughn in Bridgeport, TX. She stopped to see me and "cousins" Pat and Jim on her way back to Dallas from a conference in Lubbock. 
Today I was in Lincoln, NE, and visted the state capitol. At the capitol I met Loretta, who provided me with lots of information about the building and the city of Lincoln. 
Here is another shot of the bison at the end of the roundup. 
Today I was able to attend the 47th Annual Bison Roundup at Custer State Park, near Rapid City, SD. The cowboys, on horses and in pickups, rounded up about 1,000 or more bison and drove them to the holding pens. Over the next few weeks, the bison herd will be thinned and some will be returned to the grazing lands of the state park. 
Warmest regards, Gus
