The Tales of the Traveling Totes is a quarterly link party that chronicles the travels and activities of ten women who live all across the United States. Our purpose is to learn how much of the world can 10 average women, carrying the same MacKenzie-Childs Courtly Check Tote, see. You can read tales about our adventures on March 1st, June 1st, September 1, and December 1st. I am thrilled to participate with this amazing group of women. At the end of my post, you'll find links to join the other toters and read what they've been doing this quarter.
In June, Sweet Mister and I hopped in our trusty SUV and headed for Denver to spend the night and have dinner with old friends. Early the next morning we were up and headed for Aspen to spend the week with another friend. Our agenda was all about fishing again at a private ranch high in the mountains on the back side of Snow Mass. It's a huge property with 22 private lakes. The three of us were the only guests fishing on the entire ranch for the next two days. Sweet Mister and our friend fished, and I once again completely enjoyed photographing as many views as I could capture. I'm going to stop my comments until we hit the road again on the next leg of our journey. Hope you enjoy what I have to share with you. This one is photo intense. Enter at your own scrolling risk.
When we left Aspen, we headed south and west. We drove up, down, and all around Black Canyon. Sweet Mister made frequent stops for me to capture views of this magnificent canyon. The last time we made this journey, I also shot a ton of pics, but half way around the canyon, I realized that I had forgotten to put my memory card in the camera. This was my mulligan. Not too long after exiting the canyon, we were closing in on Lake City. Next it was over a high pass and then on to spend some time with friends who have a wonderful cabin in Creed, Colorado. Creed is a tiny town with a wonderful tight knit community of people who keep the town hopping with one civic activity after another. One evening while we were there we went out to dinner and to their community theatre for a performance of Patsy Kline. It was sensational!
Miss Carrie Ann Hall is pretty much worn slick. She napped through dinner, and she flat out slept through Patsy Kline.
And so my fourth quarter travel comes to an end. We are planning a trip to Washington D.C. this weekend, and I look forward to sharing the sights with you. My trusty camera and I are going to have a great time at my niece's wedding in the Arboretum! Thank you for coming by for a visit. Please, leave me a comment. It's so wonderful to meet each of you!
