getting ready
Today has become a typical day since I'm rapidly approaching my time to head South. I'm still straightening up the camper, doing little odds and ends to make it more comfortable, and trying to find ways of putting things away so I don't have to take as much time to prepare the camper when I drive somewhere.
More storage would definitely be handy, and my ideal situation would be nothing setting out that has to be put away before I can run to the store. My dream would be that one day, I would think to myself, "I think I'll go to the store," and I would walk out of the camper, lock the door, get in my truck, and drive away without having to shuffle things in the camper around and put things away.
Since I didn't take a mini-vacation down to Alamosa, Colorado, to see the Sandhill cranes this summer, I'm really looking forward to boondocking at the "Bosque birdwatchers RV Park" just outside the main gate of the Bosque Del Apache. The owner and operator, Mr. Trujillo, lets us poor folks boondock at his RV Park, which saves a lot of money if you don't need hookups like me.
As usual, I'll be getting to the Bosque kind of early since the biggest influx of Sandhill cranes and Snow geese doesn't get there until later in the winter. It's a mixed blessing since there are fewer birds there this early, but on the other hand, there are fewer people there either, so it's a lot easier to find handy places to take pictures.
Many professional photographers get there later in the season, maybe late December or something like that, to get pictures of the daybreak liftoff of 20,000 snow geese taking flight simultaneously. The snow geese will still do that when I'm there, but there's not much impact with a couple hundred snow geese taking off.

The Denver Colorado skyline was taken from the Bronco Stadium.
Because of her job my daughter got to visit Bronco Stadium yesterday. These are the wild Broncos that greet everybody when they’re coming in the front entrance.
