Fall again

I apologize for my lack of posting. Lately, the last thing I want to do when I get home from work is play on the internet. Moving the computer back downstairs has also made it easier to forget. Why get off the couch and walk downstairs when I can watch CSI or Smallville reruns? ;)

I did get off the couch long enough this weekend to go aspen viewing. Kelly, Heath, and I drove over Guanella Pass (finally!), which is supposed to be the best aspen viewing around. After seeing it for myself, I disagree. Yes, it's beautiful and all, but the road was very crowded and I didn't think it was all that great. Last year Heath and I drove up Rollins Pass, which was 100 times better and much less crowded. But now Guanella is another pass I can cross off my list.

A few weekends ago my parents came down for vacation. We ended up driving around down in southwestern Colorado. It was so much fun, and the San Juan mountains quickly because my favorite area in CO. I don't think I'd want to live in those areas (like Silverton or Ouray); I like isolation, but that is almost too much isolation. We also drove up the Alpine Tunnel road, an old narrow gauge railroad bed that led to the first tunnel under the continental divide. It was barely wide enough for one car and very rough. My focus must be an SUV in disguise, lol. I did have to get new tires after that affair, but they were on their last legs anyway, lol.

Here's my laziness again...It's not even 8:30, and I'm ready for bed. Until next time...
