An up and down day

Today my hiking group planned to go on a hike up in the Laramie Range. The possibility of rain was high. We should have gone earlier. We got up there and it started lightning and raining. A few decided to stay and hike. Most of us went to a bar/restaurant that is up in that area called the Bunk House. So we had lunch then drove back down to Laramie and went for a walk on the green belt. The sky was still ominous but we really didn't get much but a sprinkle. We did see a bunch of cool birds. We had a good birder with us so she could name them for us.
