Colorado is nothing what I expected it to be, it has gone far beyond anything that I could have possiblu imagined. After working a couple of days here, you learn so much about the mountains the people here and yourself.
La gente aqui viven una vida un poco ideal, para los que le gustan haci, la mañana empieza normalmente a las siete, hay una camioneta que maneja a todos hacia arriba de la montaña. A las tres de la tarde mucha gente se prepara a irse, mientras la doctora y yo nos quedamos trabajando hasta las cinco, ya para ese tiempo ya no hay camioneta y nos toca caminar por lo menos treinta minutos a nuestro campo.
At camp we are staying in a building called the "Duplex" and our side is called "Lodgepole," personally I would have preferred that we correctly address our tree with their correct scientific name. Its a nice place that has a wood heater that certainly came in handy when we had to dessicate our rather moist shoes. In this establishment that is not a wood cabin but rather a pseudo-wood cabin there are two floors the kitchen and living room upstairs and the bedrooms and bathrooms downstairs.
Aunque la cocina no sea algo espectacular, la personalidad de la gente que ha ubiquado aquí esta muy presente. Imaginate una escena ecléctica, rodeada con artículos de otra gente que se han incorporado en la experienca de ese espacio. Hay vacos de muchos lugares, los tenedoros y las cucaharas no combinan, y hay comida en la vitrina que viajeros no pudieron consumir. Esta comida, esos trastes, esos pedazos de ellos se han quedado aqui con un propuesto, que sus cosas seran utilizadas por otros y que pronto tambien ellos dejaran cosas para los que vengan en el futuro.
It's nice being in that kind of environment because you truly see what people can be like, that there are pieces there for you to pick up and pieces that you will leave behind. The flora here is amazing I have taken care to try and remember their names, and its always a cool experience to learn the origin of their name and what it means. It sets a more personal relationship with the plants, trees, and vegetation that you work with.
This is one spot of many where I had to tear through the dead branches and embrace the tree in order for me to get a reading of diameter. It was work that epitomized the word: tree hugger
Este area se conoce como los "krummholz." La palabre es Aleman que significa guerra, la guerra á esta alture es entre los árboles y el viente, el viente los tumba y los árbikes se recojen. En esta foto estamos á más de 11,000 pies de altura.
This is another scenic view, one of many that were taken with Nan's camera, its easy to see why people fall in love with Colorado.
