| Fort Collins |
Driving through the Rocky Mountains, one can understand why this place is famous. It is quite a beautiful place.
Here we met up with Steve, Debbie and Callum Schnieder. Steve and Frank worked together for a long time and have maintained contact since Steve and family moved to Colorado several years ago. They very kindly offered their place to crash while visiting. I recommend this place to anyone whose looking for the best bed and breakfast in town!
The weather was unusually warm here so there wasn't any evidence of snow at the mountain base. However, closer to the top was another story. Although temperatues were cold, it was refreshing. We reached Bear Lake (yes, lots of bears up here, and coyotes, squirrels, elks and deers) and it was totally frozen over. It looked like a giant wedding cake, covered in soft icing sugar.
Our last day in Fort Collins was miserably cold and I wondered how anyone could live here after experiencing the warmth and sunshine of back home. But then again the natural and still unaltered beauty of this region would attract anyone with an appreciation for wilderness and calm ... someone should write a song about this place ...
Ciao for now, Connie
