Back in the Mountains

Approaching Colorado's Front Range from the Great Plains
We're half-way through our drive from Chicago to Ashland. We're spending the day with my friend, Sam, who I know from Chicago, but who is now the Senior Planner in Boulder, Colorado (his wife, Jill, has been commuting back and forth from Chicago to here -- you can see them both in their Chicago pied a terre on my August 21st post). As it so happens, Chad, my brother, is passing through Boulder from Denver back to Durango, so we spent the day with him as well.

Chad and I on the roof deck of Sam & Jill's townhouse, serenading Erin (Sam was at work)
After 5 months in a small car together, Erin and I have literally fused together


An interesting cloud arrangement over the Rockies
Bonus picture: It's nice when they provide pet walking areas in the middle of nowhere -- but don't forget to pick up after your dog.

  1. Hey blog boy. Now that your home you just drop your fans out here? Every day I check for the latest news and every day I'm left to filter through past posts and relive the memories. The hike at Colchuck Lake, the crowds on Diversey Beach, paddling on Kangaroo Lake, that great beach at Ocracoke, and the fall colors in Vermont! I know you're not traveling anymore but you could still write. Isn't there anything blog worthy happening in Ashland? Maybe something more from the book?
