combined with chores to get the house ready for missionaries for the winter. But typical to the (un-named) airline, at least once a year we have a flight get canceled and the excuse "Oh, sorry - we'll get you there in a day or two." That's not going to cut it when you're half way there. And so we start listing nearest airports and try to get in and rent a car and drive. Montrose? Vail? Aspen? This year, the closest we could get was Aspen. We've been to Aspen many times so we decided to make a day of it and have lunch and enjoy the drive into Crested Butte. As it turns out, it was a good detour this year.
After lunch at a favorite spot, we noticed a lot of activity in the Plaza. A mother bear decided that the crab apple trees were the best place for food this fall and she brought her two cubs along to teach them the best place for easy food.
We made it to Crested Butte about 6 hours later than we hoped, but we're here! And that means time with "the boys." Toby & Beau - our horses.
To make up for the lost time in August, we got in a great, long ride with friends today. We explored our own "backyard," the high meadows of Red Mountain with Steven, Lee, Laura, Dannic and Wookie the dog.
The weather was perfect and we enjoyed a picnic and then meandered our way back home.
Ahh, I feel relaxed.
