After our two weeks exploring Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, we started our journey home with a quick stop in Fort Collins, CO to see our buddy Monte. We packed a lot into a little over a day!
Monte met us at our motel and we had fun catching up over a nice dinner. The next morning while Kathy slept in, I met Monte at Pine Ridge Natural Area, one of his usual haunts. After an hour or so of burning pixels, we retreated to Cups, one of Monte’s regular coffee shops.
We went our separate ways for the rest of the morning, then met up after lunch for a drive out to the Pawnee National Grassland just east of Fort Collins. High winds from an approaching storm system made for challenging conditions on the ground but gifted us with some very interesting skies.
We had a second dinner before signing off and getting packed up for the rest of the journey home. It was great to see Monte again and catch up in person instead of just virtually through our blogs!
I would have been thrilled to return to Ft. Collins again and even more thrilled to meet up with Monte! A splendid time is guaranteed for all.
Yep, Monte’s a good dude. As are my friends in NY. 😉
It was good to meet up with Tom and Kathy again. Of course we always seem to eat when we meet along with a bit of photography. Glad everyone is safely home.
Eating is one of the things we do best! It was great to see you and hang out for a day or so. Makes me wish it wasn’t such a long drive. 🙂
