[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3148337, member: 7900"] Good shots, Dennis. I see you also have an affinity of getting a dead tree into a photograph. Oh, and I also want to hear more about the cat. It looks bigger than a house cat. You got to the Great Sand Dunes National Park, but did you check out Zapata Falls on the way to there or back from there? Zapata Falls is a small waterfall that is back inside of a cave of sorts. One may have to walk in the stream to get to see it. Another camping spot that we went to for decades is in that same area, but it is east of the Dunes and south of Highway 160. Go south through La Veta and Cuchara and up over the pass. Just past North Lake (one that the highway skirts around the edge of) is a turnoff just past a cattle guard and to the right. That road takes one up to Purgatoire River Campground. It is about 3 to 4 miles off of Highway 12. Lots of trees and the Purgatoire River runs through a part of the campgrounds. If one goes up the last of August and just before Labor Day, one can have the park almost entirely to themselves. Well, except for hunters and bears. The hunters, though, may be up on the mountain and not seen much. At least, that was how it was for the last several years we went up. [/QUOTE]
