I am writing this with a heavy heart. Hurricane Irma is bearing down upon Naples as I write and affecting a good deal of Florida with more to come. We have places both in Miami and Naples so it's quite horrifying at the moment. We are but minuscule small creatures in the face of mother nature. Houston is left with devastation from Harvey, and so many islands already have had severe damage from Irma. I pray for everyone as it moves through.
Mark has been here on his normal schedule but obviously with the storm he is still here with departure back to Miami unknown.We have had gorgeous weather here in CO and been trying to make the most of it. Went to some of our favorite places: Montanya Rum and Soupcon. Never disappoints.

| still snow - an unusual year for sure |
We had a great hike in the West Elks back in mushroom country. We were mainly hiking not mushroom hunting, which was a good thing as we only found a small handful. It's really the end of the season so to find any was a bonus. Gorgeous views all around as we got much closer to the Castles than we ever do. Had a tasty picnic at the top. We were the only people around and were definitely watching out for the "big" creatures - saw none, by the way.

| Ohio Pass - the color is coming |
Made our way over to Crested Butte for breakfast and saw bear number 6! Mark first spotted it as we made our way over Ohio Pass. This was a big guy - that's is a long way away. The bears are very active right now as they are bulking up for the big winter sleep.
Hoping for less damage than predicted in Florida and wishing everyone in the path to be safe.
