The end at Horsetooth Reservoir!!

Thursday, Friday and Saturday was work as normal.  Thursday we were pretty slow, so a little packing outside for Brad. while I scrubbed and cleaned inside (him and Rudy stayed out of my way).  Friday we had over 40 campers coming in, so lots of site markers, a couple of questions, but all in all it was a fairly quiet Friday.  Saturday I headed to town to pick up some supplies while Brad finished washing the outside of the Moho.  It was a hot day, so I think I made out on the that deal.

Now Sunday was a bit more interesting, we headed down for our last visit with Shari and family and it just happened to be McKayden's Birthday, so they are doing a 'Chopped' meal for her.  Now I have seen the TV show, but the ingredients that McKayden picked made this interesting.  We had an appetizer which consisted of Spicy 'Sriracha Peas(Chili Garlic Coated Green Peas), ginger snaps, cheese, and wraps.  The teams were, Shari and Makira against Matt and Maddie, with Nana, Pappy, McKayden and Matthew as judges.....yes we had to taste it.  Matt and Maddie won that round, then for the second round, we had oriental noodles, chicken, bean sprouts, and donuts.  Now on this round, Matt ended up on the phone and left Maddie on her own, so Shari and Makira won that round.  That took most of the afternoon, so a quick piece of cake, ice cream and the opening of the gifts and we were off.  The kids had soccer at 4:30 and it was almost time for them to leave, so we headed out for a slow ride home, back roads the whole way, and were still home early enough to have a fire and enjoy the evening at home. 

Rudy's new seat beside Brad.   Our last fire at Horsetooth.

Monday was a lot of packing and re-organizing inside and out, cleaning and laundry.  We turned over our computer, CC machine, Jet-pack (wifi hot spot), radio and the container of stuff related to camp hosting and officially went off duty about 2:00.  Roger stopped to pick the stuff up, sat and talked for about 30 min. and we said our good-byes.  Back to our chores, but about 5:00 we quit, we were exhausted from trying to remember where everything went.  Brad started the fire, while I poured us a glass of wine and just as we settled in, Cathleen stopped in to say good-bye and drop off some fresh tomatoes and frozen corn, yum.  She visited for a little while then her and her husband headed off to go fishing.  We settled back in by the fire, a few more visitors with questions and looking for camp sites, so we helped them the best could and sent them on their ways.  We finally got to sit and enjoy our wine, while Brad cooked sausages on the fire.  It was our last night at the Horsetooth Reservoir, so most of the fire wood is gone and we managed to enjoy the evening.   Just out of curiosity I did some checking and they have dropped the reservoir 30 feet from the middle of July until Sept 15, when we left....no wonder our little inlet is dry!!

Where did our water go, the green roofed building is in both pictures, one with water, on after the 30 foot drop!!

Glad to leave, but sad at the same time.  Thanks, Diane, Brad and Rudy!!
