Trail 10 - Shady on a hot day
This past weekend, Allie and I drove a bit. The destination was Meyer Ranch Park (backup link) From the book, 60 Hikes within 60 Miles for Denver and Boulder, this is entry #10. Though the book lists this trail as being in the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains, for all intents and purposes, this is in the Rocky Mountains. The entire park is west of the Legault Mountain Peak (9045ft). The drive here is a bit longer than places I would call "Foothills".
Meyer Ranch Park is worth the longer drive. This is a great place for a hot day. Most of the Lodge Loop Trail (that forms a full circuit at this park) is shaded under tall trees. The trail itself is very well maintained. The uphill portions aren't steep. Overall, Allie and I really enjoyed this location and will definitely consider coming back.

Just saw yet another shooting star
In a strange coincidence, I've seen another shooting start last night as I walked out to my backyard. I looked up, and there it was. This one was different than the previous sighting a couple of weeks ago. The sky was perfectly clear. This shooting star was just a point of light that streaked across the sky, but with no tail. I noticed it just as it lit up. It got brighter as it moved Westward until it dimmed a second or so later. Similar to the previous shooting star, it moved East in a Westerly direction.
The Geminid meteor showers will happen in a week or so. Maybe these early shooting stars are their vanguard.

Slower Than Usual Shooting Star
The streak was much longer than usual and started in the East and weirdly headed almost perfectly West. This shooting star was also a bit slower and more long lasting that other shooting stars I've seen, though it still dissipated very quickly. I was also surprized that the shooting star was so visible, given the wisps of clouds and the suburban light pollution.

Today I spotted a Bird Watcher that spotted something bald

I haven't see a Bald Eagle in this area for several years. It was nice to see one again, minding its own business; not minding the humans. Hey, Bald Eagle, please eat as many of the prairie dogs and rabbits as you like! There's too many for the coyotes and foxes around here.
