Keba’s Daily Life in Rocky Mountain National Park, CO-Glacier Basin Campground

My first day in RMNP, First things first, I just had to have a place where I could watch outside. Boy that was a crazy twisting road to get here, I’m lucky I didn’t get car sick! No signs of altitude sickness yet.
Food. Check. Water. Check. All is well. Will stay here a few minutes before investigation every nook and cranny of the house.




Boy. I think the altitude is making me very sleepy.




Daily exchange with Borry, simple morning conversation over a cup of tea.



Wait, what is that!?


Interesting… water seems to come from this thing.




I have settled into my position as RMNP Junior Ranger Kitty. My daily duties include keeping an eye on what is happening out in front of the campground. With my foot on the phone I am always prepared to put the call in to dispatch if need be.




It is summer after all, so I do get a little sunbathing in. Man I love this weather, so glad I am not in Ft. Collins for the summer. It’s nice having a summer home.




My focused face. Gotta keep an eye on these large strange animals. (Elk!)








Ooops! Borry caught me sneaking out of the cupboard. I was just investigating a noise.




Boy, I’m pooped, it’s tough being a RMNP Junior Ranger Kitty!

Nov. 29

Mom and Dad visit for a week before Thanksgiving. We had fun (I think!) snowshoeing and roaming around Fort Collins, Boulder, etc. We had Thanksgiving dinner (in the hotel!... which happens to be bigger than our apartment :)

Some more pictures from this summer

Have you ever lain in a field of glacier lilies? Delicious to eat in its entirety as well! The leaves are fresh the flowers sweet. Yum.


Gotta do the picture at the sign, Dharma our friend from the Peace Corps came to visit.


Flower on top of a mountain, things can grow anywhere!

The crowd building before the parade started, it stretched so far back, but we were at the front. Notice the pink gorilla!


Me in my fairy, hippie, something er rather getup.



Two friends meeting at my house before the parade. I thoght they looked like a strange album cover pic.

August 22, 2010

OK, so I have been back in Fort Collins since the 8th, but I have been going nonstop with work since then. First prepping the classroom, then trying to look prepared for the first days of school last week. I will post pictures of my classroom, before and after the disaster. Since I was in Glacier National Park for a whole month and went on a lot of hikes I, of course, have a lot of pictures. I will have to just post a few at a time.




Hoary marmot!

Some snow crossings on the Dawson Pass-Pitamakin Loop GNP




Dawson Pass photo op. I hike with a ranger and some other visitors. It was the day after I arrived in Glacier and a really awesome hike.




Sinopah Mountain in Two Medicine on an early morning boat ride.

Hewlett Gulch

A nice hike to Hewlett Gulch with my brother here from out of town.



A spiky but pretty thistle





A good wide view, David is tiny in the bottom right corner.


Lots of water crossings!
