We have closed up everything at our summer Sunriver Oregon location and we are heading out on the road. First destination, Breckenridge Colorado.
Mike and several of his “jeepin” buddies are setting out on a 5 day, guys only, high altitude, off-roading adventure!
Mike found these mountain goats at about 12,000 feet elevation.
This is just some of the motley crew………..
After the off-roading adventure was over……several of us went to the October-Fest in Breckenridge. It snowed up in the hills while were in Breckenridge....so beautiful!
We went for an incredible ride from Breckenridge to Aspen Colorado over Independence Pass. When you hear people talk about how beautiful Colorado is………they have got to be referring to Independence Pass. The Rockies are incredibly breathtaking. Those of you who have known me for any amount of time know that I have always been (and always will be) a great John Denver fan. In Aspen, we went to the John Denver Sanctuary…..a part of the Aspen Art Museum. It is a beautiful tribute to his talent.
Next stop – Sante Fe, New Mexico. We were able to meet up with Dave and Roberta Mc Cleary. Dave and Roberta are great tour guides. They showed us the home they are building near Abique……we saw many of the historic sites in the area. The mission above is in Taos. We saw some beautiful sites. 
Sedona Arizona is set in the most gorgeous red rock countryside.
South of Sedona is “Montezuma’s Castle” This was home to an Indian community hundreds of years ago.
After a few days in Las Vegas, we headed north on highway 395. The east side of the Sierra Nevada mountain range is breathtaking. We spent two days at Mc Gee creek with friends Tom & Pat Sims and Gary and Pat Wallstrom. Fresh trout caught by Tom and Gary was a great treat for dinner.
We have finished out September in Reno. We were able to meet up with Palm Springs friends (Bud and Patti) and a great visit with my sister-in-law, Cathie and my two nephews Scott and Brett.
