Friday Flashback

Kiowa, Colorado ~ Circa 1981

Maybe an hour or so outside of Denver…head south, eastern plains.

I can remember watching the storms while looking north across the plains late one afternoon…we watched several tornadoes drop from the sky…

…it was awesome and frightening all at the same time.

You could see a car coming down the dirt road for miles at night…and the faint glow of the lights of Denver to the northwest.

You could hear the coyotes while sitting around the fires at night…and imagined they were just outside the fires glow….watching.

A totem created by the land owners to keep evil away…land owners that were our very good friends.

My boyfriend and I headed down a day earlier than the others.  The following day there would be more tents…more people…all coming for the annual  weekend camping party known as the Cactus Chew.  But on this night, it was just the two of us and a camp fire…

 Our hosts…I wish I had not lost touch with them many years ago…

There were many good times on this property…oh the stories we could tell.  🙂
