We're in the first part of the third annual Sugar Pine Ranch Rally, a Labor Day weekend motorcycle rally that is focused on a ranch about a mile from our house. We helped with registration last night and go back for another four-hour shift this morning.
This is part of living in the Four Corners ... it's been a focus for Labor Day bike rallies for close to 20 years. On the other hand, as Sandy pointed out in her post, we have so many other interesting things to see and do, so close at hand.
Our trip around the San Juan Skyway reminded us of that so beautifully! The ice park above Ouray, where we filmed people climbing a wall of ice in March, is a chasm of bright sunlight and sculpted cliffs in summer.
Rich wood and beautiful flowers adorn a bank entrance in Telluride; the little towns along the Skyway boast a wonderful array of Victorian buildings.
I enjoyed the spotted fawns, but chuckled at the two marmots beside the road below Ophir, just spending the afternoon watching cars go by!
And then the subtle shades of earth and plants in the slopes of the basin just east of Ophir, going up to Ophir Pass.
Memories.

I would very much like to run out there and pitch my tent at the bottom of those "mountains" in the first photo. How beautiful!
These were all spectacular photos. I need to go there as I am mesmerized by the mountains!
