 Wednesday, 8.26.09. Cold night, for sure. We’d guess it dipped into the 30’s, but quickly warmed up with the sun. Dave came through again, this time with coffee and fried potatoes with onions and chicken sausage. It was good, but had the added benefit of using up some heavy groceries. You gotta love that! Our fate for [...]

Bacon and pancakes (finally). We walked the back fence of the Pagosa property this morning looking for property lines. Didn’t find any, but saw a cool, permanent section marker. Unfortunately, what with the coffee and the walking, nature unflinchingly called. And, no GoGirl was gonna fix this problem! What do you think they would [...]  August 22, 2009 We were up “early” to get ready for horseback riding at 8:30 with Forest Bramble (what a name!) of Astraddle-A-Saddle Outfitters! (“Early” means I didn’t get my second cupacoffee in bed.) We were late, what with the need to stop at a gas station to pinch a loaf at the flush toilets and [...]  Menke 2009 Road Trip Day Two: Great Sand Dunes to Pagosa Springs, [...] |
