Denver Monsoon

Made another Denver field trip and thought to escape the heat and humidity at home which was unusual.  When I arrived in Denver, it was warm and the forecast stated there might be some rain.  Boy the weather report was wrong in the extreme.

On the way back to Denver after a pretty productive day in Nebraska, the sky looked like this while the sun was setting.

The rest of the time, it looked like this!

Monsoon rains continued non-stop which made the roads a bit treacherous.

We did not head out for good eats since the weather was so bad so we ate a Chilis where we ordered an appetizer, a lunch at Wendy's, another lunch at a place called Cajun Asian where we had noodles, and very late dinners at the hotel.

We had stayed in this hotel before but did not recognize the place.  One night we asked the wait staff and were told that there was a huge flood and they had to renovate the entire first level and made it more modern.  Here is one of the prints on the wall.

During our long drives, we also saw some goats.

Last thing I saw were these scorpion suckers which are strange indeed.

I did also discover VitaCoCo which I will be buying more of as it was a very refreshing treat in the course of very long days.
