Wildlife encounters

Here in Creede, you never know who you're going to meet.

This guy was one of three deer on our front porch in the morning. 

He was as curious about us as we were about him.

While driving to a trailhead just outside of town, we encountered some cowboys, a border collie and a herd of cattle being moved from one pasture to another.

As you can see, some of the cows wanted to cross the road in search of greener grass.

Or perhaps the cows wanted to cross the road to get to the udder side.

Labor Day weekend

After the labor is done, Creede knows how to play, and so do we. 

Here we are at the 105-foot Treasure Falls between Pagosa Springs and Wolf Creek Pass. 

Waterfall is relatively light this time of year, but still impressive and a fun, short hike.

The highlight of the weekend: Creede's Gravity Derby. 

Check out Johamy in her #9 racer, El Caballo, and her competition.

And El Caballo zooms down Main Street...

... only to lose in every heat she raced. But it was fun to watch!
