Our route to date:

We are now in Pagosa Springs, CO. ("J" on Map)

We visited friends Mike and Car (Caroleen) whom we hadn't seen for years. Mike and I worked together for over ten years in Florida and we wouldn't have missed an opportunity to visit with them.

Pagossa Springs is a gorgeous place spanning elevations from 8000 to 12,500 feet. Mike is a pilot and took me up in his Glasaii aircraft that he built himself. What a treat. In a small aircraft you see with different eyes.

While Peter and Michael were out flying, and Car was sleeping, I took a gorgeous walk down their private road behind their house.  It was so beautiful and so quiet.  The only sounds were birds and the occasional clapping cricket.
