• Curiosity Piqued

    I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying a most spectacular view during our week at Ridgway State Park.  There’s a curiosity that stirs within me as I watch the mountain range to the east change with the light of the sun or better yet an impending storm. Before departing this little slice…

  • No Invitation?

    Well….I waited….and waited….and then waited some more.  But received no invitations from my good friends;  Ralph Lauren, Oprah Winfrey, Tom Cruise.  These well-known folks all own property in or near Telluride, Colorado. I remember watching Oprah’s special when she visited Ralph Lauren’s 17,000 acre ranch just outside the town of Ridgway.  The…

  • Telluride, Colorado has been on my radar for quite sometime.  Although I’ve called Colorado’s Front Range home for nearly eighteen years, between work and children there never seemed to be enough time to explore Colorado’s Western Slope until now. Al and I review the atlas and peruse all the info we picked up…

  • Since my last post, hubby and I have witnessed some spectacular scenery complete with equally spectacular company. After a wonderful stay at James Robb State Park accompanied by lots of time hanging out with my brother and his wife at their home, we departed Grand Junction, Colorado, and took a two hour drive…

  • Unlikely Bonding

    Sometimes spending the day hanging around a campsite and communing with nature is exactly what the mind and body needs to rejuvenate. The James Robb State Park in Fruita, Colorado has proven to be the perfect home for Al and me to recuperate from the arduous move. Al and I…

  • Happy Birthday Bro

    We’ve been happily camped at James Robb State Park Fruita Section located west of Grand Junction, Colorado for a little over a week now.  I think Al and I are finally settling into the RV life and joke about living on “RV time”.  I’ll admit the move took a lot…

  • Moving on!

    We bid farewell to our daughter and point the RV west.  Shortly after turning onto Interstate 70, we feel the slight climb in elevation starting.  No surprise since we need to go from Denver’s elevation of 5,280 feet (the mile high city) to the Eisenhower Tunnel (the summit) at 11,158 feet. …

  • Well, we’ve hit the road, moved on, and I’m sitting in a new location just south of Glenwood Springs, Colorado.  We found ourselves a pretty little spot with lovely views and a quaint little pond; perfect for a two night stay. As I sit outside in my chair watching the…

  • Mt. Evans

    It’s Sunday, our last day in Golden, Colorado, before heading west.  I’m not sure when I’ll visit with my daughter again, so I want to do something fun today.  Initially we were going to head back over to Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre for some more hiking and exercising, but since Al and I…

  • Wednesday morning I wake up around 5:30 a.m.   I’m feeling rested and jump out of bed.  I start the coffee….gotta have my morning Joe, ya know.  Al slowly wakes around 6:00 and notices I’m sitting in bed next to him drinking coffee in bed.  This is day five after the move;…
