The sleeps outside in the hammock have been wonderful. The peaceful, cool air, almost cold, recharges my body from the heat of the day. I enjoy so much sleeping under an open sky, breathing in cool air.
This section of the country is such a contrast to New England, where I have spent almost my entire life. I love the newness, being out of my element.
Today, we need ice for the cooler and some groceries. The city of Cortez, CO, thirty miles away, is where we need to drive. Our campground is at the Four Corners, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico.
On our drive to Cortez, we see smoke billowing over the mountain range. We have lunch and do the shopping. On the return, the fires have spread over to this side of the range.
Back at the campground, we relax in the shade until 7:00 pm visiting with Peter and Sarah. We finish the night celebrating July 4th with margaritas in a can. Classy!
It is now and cool. I’m ready for another great night in the hammock.
