Honey, I'm home!
Honey, I'm home! Just a pop in to say hi, say I survived myself, and say it was so breathtakingly beautiful that I lack enough words of quality to describe. The Aspen have started to turn and we took a drive through the Guanella Pass, drove straight inside a storm at the peak! We visited Garden of the Gods and I took a short walk to a peak with a fantastic view of Pikes Peak as yet another storm was rolling in. I love storms in the mountains, even the ones that are frightening in their intensity. I may be a bit absent for a few days, I took a fair few photos that I need to categorize and sort through and it will take some time to do with the minions return tomorrow. We crammed a good deal into a short time frame. Enough that we hope to return after Winter passes. I-70 is bad enough through Denver in good driving conditions. As much as I would love to see another ass deep snow, I don't want to die trying to get there, because apparently they don't sell blinker fluid anywhere near Denver. And braking randomly is what one does when trying to merge across three lanes of traffic. We visited some old friends, took a short stroll along the north fork of the South Platte River. We had great accommodations in Denver, not five star by any standard, but clean, filled with sincerely friendly staff, and full of sooo many interesting people. Bonus points for being pet friendly too. It is a work in progress, the place is undergoing renovation, I hope I get the chance to visit there again after everything is complete. Our room was passably clean, I had some Clorox wipes and I put them to use. We had nearly new mattress', fresh linens daily, nice soft towels and plentiful hot water. I made them earn their price by taking ungodly long showers lol. And now is the time to pay for play, a I have to finish unpacking and un-destroy the house. Photos to come. Peace and Love ✌🏼️ "Shall I tell you the secret of the true scholar? It is this: every man I meet is my master in some point, and in that I learn of him." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson |

Laughing my ass off. They make directionals optional purchase here when a car is sold. And no one turns the headlights on when the wipers are going even tough it's state law. I am SOOOO glad you went and had a great time. (Virtual Symposium Group) use Virtual Symposium Group

sounds like you had a good trip, know what you mean about blinker fluid lacking in cars, have also seen some black cars on the roads that have not been told how to activate the headlights

Glad you had a good time, and thanks for bringing the rain back with you - we DESPERATELY need it here. Dug around and finally found one of the C'Springs hot air balloon shots from 10 years ago.

Glad you had a safe and enjoyable trip! I loved the 360 photos. Makes me wonder how they're taken. Read my diary Journal of a Taxi Driver for taxi stories and pictures of flowers and trees.
