Official Photo of the Day (Potentially NSFW) -- NO CARS

A friend of mine took this in Sewanee, Tennessee yesterday in the snow.

The cross is dedicated to all that served our country. For more info; http://www.classichistory.net/archives/sewanee-memorial-cross

I’ve been there many times but, never in the snow and it was one of the stops on the Tennessee Mafia Reunion drive.

I took Botond to Colorado this week because he told me on my drive back from California when I got my Audi that he has never seen the Colorado Rockies and it was one of his bucket list items so I obliged...

Unfortunately we have been dealing with wild fire smoke in this region and the smoke has been bad on occasion...

Botond had a great time checking out the sights :) but was not too fond of the Gondola ride... he took it in stride though. :thumbsup

Some of the houses at this resort looked amazing as the gondolas went by. The plexiglass windows of the gondolas were scratched from people taking their skis during skiing season...

The views going into the rockies were amazing and Botond got to see the Continental Divide during this trip. All in all a good time for him :thumbsup

Thanks Trevor! Yes, I enjoyed doing this and also had an awesome time! :)

Road trips with friends are fun! Where in Colorado did you stop by? Might have to put that on the itinerary...

I took Botond to Breckenridge Ski resort where these pictures were taken. Beautiful country. On the way there, I showed Botond Loveland, Arapaho Basin and Keystone where you could go skiing during skiing season. Lots of breathtaking views on the way to Breckenridge. :cool

Awesome!

I’ve been to Loveland pass twice in winter and once in summer. Really contrasting views depending on the time of the year. If you haven’t been to Aspen then that’s another place worth going to, especially in winter. We got stuck in a gondola high up in the mountains during a snow storm. That was quite an experience for sure.

I could imagine! When Botond and I were at the slopes, the gondola rides were temporarily shut down due to lightening strikes in the area. 25 minutes later they were reopened and we were allowed to go back down if we wanted to ride the gondola, which I did[emoji57]

Yeah Aspen is another nice place with great views but that's perhaps for another trip... by the end of the day my eyes were irritated from forest fire smoke that originated from Arizona so it was time to go back to my brother's home in Fort Collins. [emoji4]

You should of went to the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park.

The Stanley Hotel inspired the Overlook Hotel in Stephen King's 1977 bestselling novel The Shining and its 1980 film adaptation.

Gary, this was my first choice as I have been to the Stanley Hotel at Estes Park but there was a forest fire in the vicinity so the majestic views would be obscured by smoke from the fire. That's why I went to Breckenridge instead...

Well... the week's trip to Colorado with Botond has been completed. Botond has scratched off seeing the Rockies and the Continental Divide off his bucket list. I'm glad I was able to help him check this off his list :) It was a good trip although there was still a lot of smoke from wild fires in Arizona over the mountains where my brother lives...


It is always nice to be back home though... I am tempted to telework tomorrow. I'll have to see how I'm feeling in the morning. Welcome back to lots of humidity weather. Compared to what I was exposed to all last week... this is a huge change. I loved the low humidity climate of Colorado :)

Nice adventure.

I’ve been to the great west several times and it’s always a memorable experience.

Our two girls where down with their husbands and our five grandsons between them for the Fourth of July.

We spent a few days doing some hiking on some of the local trails. Alabama land trust has some amazing trails in Huntsville. Great time had by all.

Enjoy a few of the pics I took.
