Goodbye to Colorado

After 5 1/2 months here at the Alamosa/Monte Vista National Wildlife Refuges, we will head back to Texas today.  We have seen more snow on the mountains and our morning lows have been at or below freezing the past several days. Winter is clearly on the way!

We have had a great experience here. The staff has been great to work with, and we have completed so many different projects that it is hard to recall all that we've done.  They took us out to lunch for our "going away" and presented us with a thank-you card and two gift cards.  Very nice.

We've decided to return next year to pick up where we left off, and are looking forward to another summer in Colorado.  But first a return to Texas where we will be getting our house on the market and then volunteering at Laguna Atascosa NWR.

We will continue to blog about the last few things we did while we were here, along with whatever new adventures come along. So keep checking back.
