I drove past the turnoff for Aspen! Alas, we're already back in WI, so my travelogue is actually a time travel travelogue...from last week :(

Still, the weather last week was great (hot) and sunny (no rain at all). Hopefully yours is just as good!

Yes, it has been hot here - which is why we go up into the mountains! Sorry I missed you, though, Dr. Who.

BTW, you're right about staying indoors with a fire in winter. When I lived in the mountains, we once had a six-foot snow which sort of forced that exact scenario on everybody.
