The mountains around Steamboat always have fun observations of the faunal type. While riding near Buffalo Pass on the Continental Divide trail we came near a mom moose and her baby. Click on the image for a close up. Needless to say we didn't want to stress them out nor did we want mom to get angry with us. After a hasty picture we were on our way.
However, back in camp the mosquito population was quite healthy. In this case however, we did not care if we stressed the poor little buggers out nor were we worried about any attack besides the near constant biting. Below, Fran is modeling one of our new head nets that enabled us to keep the bites limited to the rest of our bodies. This is the first time we have ever had to resort to netting. It appears that Northern Colorado has had a wet spring and a bumper crop of the secondary consumers.
