We thoroughly enjoyed our visit with Drayton in Fort Collins, going into Old Town in the evening to window-look and dine, filling his house with turkey smells (and leftovers) on Thanksgiving and visiting with him. Saw him in a trivia competition with Katie, his housemates, etc., on Wednesday evening, and he's as good at it as ever!
On Black Friday, we took advantage of sales at big box stores in Ft. Collins and Loveland, then headed over the pass to Grand Junction. Kind of a ho-hum day weather-wise, but we needed to cover miles and we got into GJ before dark.
That gave us time to stroll the downtown pedestrian mall area ... about four blocks of shops of all sorts and an amazing amount of statuary! That really is an impressive way to bring art and life to a downtown area.
Saturday dawned bright and cold, with fresh snow in the hills to the south. So, we toured Olathe and Delta (with its Egyptian Theater) and Montrose and then climbed the mountains into Telluride. Did some streetwalking there, too, and then over Lizard Head Pass, detouring to visit Upper and Lower Ophir. Pics are of Telluride and Upper Ophir. Beautiful day, and great setting for picture-taking. Where else can you see such blue sky? Tom
