I am happy to write from the uber-comfort of my dear friends Mare and Darrell's home in Keystone Ranch, Colorado. They kindly offered their home as a resting place for me before my upcoming week of work in Colorado and continued travels. This is a winter paradise and a very luxurious place to put my feet up after some harrowing drives. I hope to get a day on the slopes tomorrow.
There were flashing Warning signs for miles before I hit Vail Pass. I had to get over this 10,000ft+ summit to get here. I have done this pass in the summer in the past but it did not prepare me for this winter experience and the road covered in snow. Needless to say, not a single yellow line visible on this road. In a rented Toyota Camry Hybrid with dec tires but not ideally equipped to head over this terrain, I went through at a snails pace.
Nice to have a glass of wine and sit by a fire tonight.

Dreamed I was an eskimo
ReplyDeleteFrozen wind began to blow
Under my boots and around my toes
The frost that bit the ground below
It was a hundred degrees below zero
And my mama cried
And my mama cried
Nanook, a-no-no
Nanook, a-no-no
Don't be a naughty eskimo
Save your money, don't go to the show
Well I turned around and I said oh, oh oh
Well I turned around and I said oh, oh oh
Well I turned around and I said ho, ho
And the northern lights commenced to glow
And she said, with a tear in her eye
Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow
Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow
