Day 37 (prep bike for return trip to NJ and prairie dogs)

Only a few days left (and even fewer things to do) between now (fri) and my flight back to NJ on monday.

I spent a little time today organizing the bike for shipping back to NJ and when i was done with that, i ran off to the local starbucks to have some "quite time" and to access wifi to upload some videos and pictures (those were the Pikes Peak, etc... pics). On the way back from S.bucks, i stopped by a Walgreen's to pick up some odds and ends and stummbled upon a camera crew from Animal Planet who were taking some pics and video of the local prairie dogs. I had wanted to get my own pics and video, but i did NOT want to ruin their shots (so i took my pics/vidoe on the otherside of the parking lot). Look on Animal Planet (a few months from now) for a show called "Prairie Dogs: Talk of the town"

anyway...

here are some pics from today
