Been There.. Done That - Telluride, CO


Vacation Flashback
**I wish I would have blog scrap booked about!
"if I could turn back time" - Cher

Telluride CO. December 2009
- Tyler's first time to go to Colorado + just graduated w/ his masters,
we loaded up the dogs (Knox and Zodi pg with puppies)- for a snow-blanketed road trip!
Stayed a couple nights in Telluride The Montana Placer Inn- 210 South Oak St.  1/2 block to the Gondola!
(Contact Henry C. Lystad (henry@Telluride.com) for Great great deals on great places in Telluride! *)

Taos New Mexico Lodgin& one night in Taos, NM (Adobe & Pine Inn)
** Apologies to Adobe Pines for lifting your remote & forgetting to sent it back
(I even have it wrapped in bubble wrap-ready to box)*

We snowmobiled with TSA to Alta Lake ghost Town (Amazing)

then rummaged through the Free Box for treasures
Found a dirty smooshed 'I love chris hat' & mailed it to him from Rico, CO


Sampled local brews @ the Smugglers Brewery & House infused Vodka's @ the Steaming Bean

Telluride is a terrific place for a drunken stumble/ midnight town park dog walk)
*fyi* Beware sporting events in town - Local bars become exclusive list bars -
{Snowboard World Cup was going on when we went & the Bubble Lounge denied us access because we weren't on the 'list' }


Telluride is a great place for well behaved dogs
** Zodi snarled @ well behaved friendly yellow lab Labrador outside of Baked in Telluride
    Which is now Destroyed since the February 2010 Fire
    Bought the dogs $80 worth of dogs boots so their feet wouldn't freeze
    {which they didn't appreciate}
    - on the way up- to Co we took a wrong turn and we found a this HUGE hole in the earth-
    -** On the way back we took this portion of HWY 3 - One of my most interesting drives EVER- This is a curvey Old Border Town Shnit- BUT there was a Shabby winery , would have stopped but I felt we should keep our windows up and hands in @ all times. + I saw a tar baby tree!
