Mountain Trip - Fall 2008


For the first time in many years I didn't make the annual trip to the Rocky Mountains. My beloved 18-year old cat, Tiger, was battling heart disease and I just couldn't leave him for eight days. So I stayed behind taking care of Tiger, tending to the Fergs' herd of critters, and periodically receiving a cell phone picture of Aspen-covered mountains from the crew in Red River. Cold, very cold.

As you can see in the pictures, the Aspen were spectacular this year. But without me there was no Cornhole, no Uranus jokes, and no trips to the Fish Hatchery (that magical place will change your life). So don't let their smiles fool you, it was a miserable vacation for all involved. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

The following 11 people went this year:
Dan Stone, Chuck Mandernach, Nancy & Stan Ferguson, Shelley & David & Eloen Beebee, Tim & Debbie Speck, Audrey Speck, Trevor Speck


All reports point to Eloen being the cutest & smartest person to grace this planet. Note: Eloen is the one in pink.

I'm not sure what to say about this one. Except that it is the wallpaper on my computer now.






The Beebee's at Midnight Meadows




Smiling through the tears. Clearly they were missing me big time.


Chuck at The Old Pass




Whoa. Chuck took the winning photo this year.
