Our Colorado Trip

We had fair weather on our trip out to Colorado, taking two days to get there.  We stopped in Valentine, NE. as a half way point. It had been windy, and rainy off and on across South Dakota, so we were glad to stop.  Nice room @ the Super 8.  We booked reservations for the way back while we were there. We arrived @ Chris & Chuck's about 3:30 pm, with Chris there to greet us, and show us their home.

Their house is beautiful, and spectacular views.  While we were there, it rained, snowed, was warm and sunny, windy, calm...in other words, a little of everything.

Snow lasted only briefly, then melted.


Kind of pretty with the snow falling.


Earl and I decided to hike @ Three Sisters Park.  The weather was cool, then changed to snowshowers, but we got a good hour of hiking in, even if it was hard to catch your breath in this altitude.
