Vallecito & Hummingbirds...

"For many many years I often camped in the Summer in SW Colorado. We often stayed in the campground at the northern terminus of the road that follows the river up Vallecito Valley. That's pronounced Vi-yeh-see-toe, and means little valley in Spanish. A wilderness area begins in the back of the camp ground, and the trail follows the river into the San Juan Mountains. The camp ground is almost 9000 ft. above sea level, and is much cooler than Oklahoma. Many people hung humming bird feeders on their campers. Some had one on all four corners. There were so many humming birds that the feeders looked like lights with bugs swarming around them. There were a number of different varieties of these tiny birds, and they fought like tigers to be king of their chosen feeder. I've traveled all over the country over the years, and Vallecito pulled me back again more than any other place, and just in Colorado there are a number of other places that are nothing short of wonderful." -- Charles
