We are back in the land of the living. Going to try to catch up on everyone's posts.
You two look like you took a lovely walk.
Safe travels tomorrow. We could use some nice hot soup. Going to get down to 25 here in Cortez, CO.

Haven't got a clue on the nut.
What a difference in that park from the weekend to a Monday - talk about getting outta Dodge!
Safe travels to your next destination!
