Leaving Louisiana

After spending four and a half years in Louisiana, the opportunity to move back to Colorado finally popped up. So with little regret I packed up and headed out. Notice earlier how I said "little" regret. Of course you can't spend years in a place and not develop some relationships that make it painful to move on. I used Geocaching as a catalyst to kill time and as an inroad to spending more time hiking and fishing. Heather and Lenny accompanied me on many of those little outings and my time with them was the most precious thing I left in the deep south. Which brings me to the purpose of this little Blog. I leave behind Lenny, Heather, Karen and a few more who made my journey through the sweltering, humid, stink of Louisiana bearable and after regaling them with tales of how beautiful Colorado is, I figured I should document all the things I love about living here. Again I will use Geocaching as the main activity to get motivated. To accompany me and give me a running gag for these adventures, Heather helped me choose a mascot which was promptly christened "Red Headed Step Bird" by Karen.

So let the fun begin. Here's the world through the eyes of my little red pal for the enjoyment of my beloved friends who cannot enjoy my mountain home with me.
