Week 1: Morraine Park


Good morning Swiftlets!
Our friends: Andrew and Kirstin, me and Chris

It is Day 3 of many in Estes Park, Colorado. After making the drive on Sunday, we've had a few days to unwind and get settled. I don't want to brag or anything... but this place is pretty awesome.

Right now I am sitting at my homey kitchen table in the wooden cabin that will be home to us for the next few months. It's beautiful.

Our cabin is surrounded by pine trees and beautiful views. Mountains are everywhere. Elk droppings are everywhere. Science is everywhere! Deer get close and little ground squirrels run around like meerkats. Here that guys: MEERKATS!

...

We've kicked off the summer well. So far we have already done one hike.

Here are some photos from our first hike on Day 1 to Morraine Park:

(for REAL, it's called that!)

By the way, I know one of you requested to see a picture of my new-do. I will update a picture soon!

I hope your summer is going fabulous. Remember to send photos and notes if you would like me to show your summer photos! Stay safe and keep exploring the outdoors!
