The camp ground here is so pretty. I also like LaPasa South, that is where you go to dump and get water but it is free if you are staying at one of the LaPasa campgrounds. They are all a little different and really pretty. South has more cactus then where we are but we have more trees and they are only 2 miles apart.

I am a western fan and I just love the mountains here. I always read the books of the Oregon Trail and they would talk about the purple mountains. Well down here they are purple and they are so pretty. They look almost unreal at sunset when they get a purple haze over them

Roadrunner info

I did not realize that roadrunners were one of a rattlesnakes enemies. They say they eat the snake whole and since it won't all fit they run around with the snake hanging from their mouths until enough digests to get some more in....yuck!  Their diet is almost all animals but during winter when animals and insects aren't around as much   10% of their diet might be vegetable.  They sometimes freeze if the winter is to cold.

The roadrunner weighs between 8 & 24 ozs, 20 to 24" long and 10 to 12" high. They can only fly for a few seconds but can run 17 miles per hour. They are so quick they can snatch a hummingbird or dragonfly midair.

They had better not get my little hummingbird I saw...lol

See all you teachers you will be happy I am learning. After I saw him run so fast I had to look up on the internet all about him.  I really thought he was cute and now I want to see another one and get some better pictures of him.

Roadrunner

I thought when I first saw him he was running and I was thinking boy they really do run fast. Then I tried to get closer to him and found out he was just trotting. I sweat that little bird can run faster then some birds fly. I sure hope I get to see some more of them.

Sunday Evening

I was so excited to get the pickup unloaded and go for a bike ride. Mom was so funny, she was ahead of me and went through a dip in the road and all of a sudden she flies across in front of me. I had to hit my brakes really hard, she had got excited and hit her gas...lol

I saw my first roadrunner and I got so excited I hate to post the pictures tonight instead of waiting until tomorrow

My first roadrunner, man can he run fast, he might be small but he is mighty fast
