Well this week was a bit slower… we were able to TRY and catch the music in the park on both Tuesday (Canon City) and Wednesday (Florence). Unfortunately the weather is not a lot of cooperation. Tuesday we headed to the park in Canon in a downpour… got there and it had slowed to just a drizzle but had a lot of threatening storms moving in … All that as it is, we still got in some of the Tuesday night artist… Donovan Lee.
They say your not there unless you got proof or a picture… well I got a picture cause I could not believe the RED, RED hair and beard… Anyway not too bad… he was dry in the band stand. We were dry in the jeep with one window down… there were several hearty souls with umbrellas out for the listen.
Wednesday night we did make the Florence version and it was much better… not raining and good music… the kind we like…done by the 101st Army band. Actually they have several versions from concert to country. Of course we got the Country for this version and they were pretty good.
Although I am not sure how the Army National Guard band is really stationed at and Air Force Base with Carson so close. It must have something to do with the band having started in Denver and then returning to Denver.
Today we made a short driver up Oak Creek Grade and took the back (4X4 ) road down to Grape creek… I may have to try that for fishing some day as we meet two coming out that had done well and only been up there for 3 hours. It is a lot harder to get to and way out so that may be an advantage for better fishing? Maybe next summer as we are about done here this summer.
On the way up the road we spotted several houses on top of the hills around… and boy that would be a long hard driveway.
Tonight we were going to try some “little known” good eating place a Bar B Que at the VFW in Penrose but the cook was gone so no Bar B Que today? oh well… On the way we did see this:
We were racing to get to the end for that pot of gold but just never made it… guess we are too slow.
So that is how we didn’t get rich with the pot of gold…
