Space Junque
Written by Beulah I went outside around 8:30, after the moon had set, to catch the Draconids meteor shower and was caught by surprise when I noticed a pink light on the horizon.

An Overnight Retreat At Joyful Journey Hot Springs
Written by Beulah Living in a remote town has its perks, the nearest stoplight is an hour away and as much as I enjoy the slow quiet pace here in Creede during the winter, the entertainment options are limited (unless you like going out in the snow).
