This is our last day at Chatfield State Park in Littleton, CO.  It has been a nice stay.  The scenery has been great and I have made some very nice new friends with the Denver Chapter of the Lows RV group.

 

One new friend, Ginger, has introduced me to "birdwatching" and it is pretty interesting to hear about the different birds and their habits.  It could be a good thing for me to do while walking as it would make my walks a lot more interesting.   Here is one little bird we came across and I've already forgotten its name. 

Along our path, we came across Slocum Cabin which was built in 1852 to keep trappers warm.  It later was sold to an Englishman who lived in this small structure with his wife and 4 children.  It measures 10' x 12' and is one of the oldest structures in Colorado.  Can you imagine 6 people living in such a small space?

 There was some interesting things growing out of the roof of this structure, mainly flowering cacti.
