Confluence park

Denver and in fact most of Colorado, is great for people who love the outdoors. Especially now that global warming is being manifested there!

 I couldn't believe the day would come when I would be driving around in Denver with the car window down in January!!!!


Our trusty car covered in stickers,😁

The Colorado state government is also committed to facilitating their outdoor lovers and one nice park developed with this in mind is Confluence Park.

This was once a rundown area with numerous abandoned warehouses which had become a favorite haunt for hobos and homeless people.

One former warehouse building is today a huge coop, where both new and used outdoor gear is sold. 

It's located in downtown Denver where the  South Platte River and Cherry Creek converge.

The entire renovated area has been a well-used recreation park for families, sightseeing, sun worshippers cyclists, etc since 1975,  when it was converted by the city.

However rumor has it that to prepare it for redevelopment, the homeless and people of unsound mind who previously hung out there, were scared into moving through physical violence and murder.

Climate change, but Merry Christmas 🎄.

 If you want to know if climate change is real, visit Colorado. For recently they have been having more or less, the same temperatures as Florida!


I still can't believe I lugged with all my winter gear across half of the North American continent to enjoy a white Christmas with my family, only to encounter this 🫢.



Instead of snow covered lawns and trees, above is a sample of what I encountered, leafless trees and dry brown grass.

No snow.

Even when you look up at the the Rocky Mountains in the distance, you see large exposed areas without snow.

 I hear that to accommodate skiers, they have more than 100 snow making machines running full time in places like Vail and Breckenridge, but because the sun is so hot, it's melting at a rapid rate.

Yup. Two things are certain: 1) global warming is real and 2)  Santa certainly didn't travel here by sleigh last night to deliver presents 🎁🎁🎁🌲🎄!









Anyway, hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas 🎄 and 2026 will bring you lots of happiness, success and good health.♥️
