Technical Difficulty

We are having technical difficulties.  First, the park's wifi is only half functioning (and not at our site) due to a lightning strike.  Secondly, our Motosat satellite has decided to have a brain aneurysm.  We had the Motosat stowed for days while we have had afternoon thunderstorms.  All clear this morning so I went to put the Motosat up and it would not lock on.  After 4+ hours with various Motosat support staff, downloading firmware, sat file, and changing various settings - all the darn thing wants to do is spin around and around.  Even Motosat's support staff doesn't know what to do now and wants time to think about it.  I guess it is time to put the Motosat down permanently and go to an aircard or mifi for internet access.

Yesterday, we headed out to Crested Butte to see wildflowers but with such an overcast sky and threatening rain, we decided to take the drive over Ohio Pass instead.  We were sure happy that we did as we saw wildflowers and so much more.  We also stopped at Irwin Lake and were surprised at the number of people that were there recreating.  

We will let the picture slideshow tell the story:
