Last week, I discovered a wonderful place for camping, hiking, horse-back riding and fishing almost in my backyard, i.e., within an hour’s drive from my home in Ridgway. It’s Woods Lake, found at the end of Fall Creek road off Highway 145 between Placerville and Telluride. Annabel and I went mid-week, so it was really [...]
Last Saturday, July 17, 2010, was the 33rd annual Kendall Mountain Run in Silverton, CO. As I found out, it’s definitely for the fit and hardy, but for those of you like me, it can be done with the right mind-set and perseverance. Enjoy this video of my first KMR half marathon. I can only go up from here, in more ways than one. LOL

My new friend and fellow runner/hiker-in-training for the Imogene Pass Run, Sherralyn Daniels, and I hiked the Blue Lakes Trail this past Saturday as far as the lower Blue Lake. This is a popular trail and one I had not done before, but had heard much about. Actually, I’d seen the lakes from atop Mt. [...]

We started from Montrose, taking old Highway 90 up the Plateau, proceeding along [...]

Their circle of friends are not my usual circle, but I have, certainly, met many at previous parties and in and around town. [...]

Last night, watching the Grammy Awards, reminded me of a notable fact about my little town of Ridgway where I live, about 26 miles south of Montrose, where I work. Ridgway is where John Billings of Billings Artworks creates the Grammy Award, which he's been doing for well over 25 years. Check out his website. It's rather [...]

Montrose, Colorado is not exactly known for its shopping, as in mall shopping, so it’s a good thing I’m not much of a shopper. We do have of a few big box stores, like WalMart and Home Depot. And in recent years, we’ve seen the addition of a couple of new shopping centers, Oxbow Crossing [...]
