Your Mom and I thought it might be a good idea to have me start a blog about some of the hikes that I go on and things that I do. I live in a place called Pueblo, CO http://maps.google.com/maps?rlz=1C1GGGE_enUS458US458&q=pueblo,+co+google+maps&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x8713a2f3071bb165:0xa82d6ba368c7b82e,Pueblo,+CO&gl=us&ei=CmJST6vWI9C2twf9nYCqBQ&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CCEQ8gEwAA . If you click that it will show you a map of the city and you can zoom in or out to see where it is in the US. Google can also tell you how far it is from where you are to where I am.
The picture above is of a place called the Cuchara River Canyon. Cuchara is a Spanish word for spoon. I do not know why they call this river, that name. maybe this page can tell you better.http://www.sangres.com/mountains/spanpks/index.htm ..it is a link to a site that tells the natural history of the Huerfano County area(where this picture was taken).. Huerfano is Spanish for orphan, and that is what the first Spanish invaders called a single lava cone butte, sticking up several hundred feet from the floor of the surrounding plains. The mound is also several hundred feet around, and sort of reminds me of Devil's Tower in Wyoming. The area by the butte is home to large tarantulas, and snakes also...in addition to rodents and insects.
I want to start off by saying that all work on this site, photography, writings, any intellectual content, is the sole, and singular proprety of James W Dunnigan, unless otherwise indicated..
