Today's jaunt was to the nearby town of Ridgeway. We had a great pizza lunch at a place called "Panny's" and then stopped at the "Dennis Weaver Memorial Park." Apparently Dennis Weaver and family had moved to Ridgeway in the late 1980's and loved the area. They donated 60 acres along the Uncompahgre River for a city park. After Weaver's death, a beautiful memorial was built...a huge bronze eagle in flight. The sculpture is in the center of a Ute Indian "Circle of Life." There is also a plaque with one of his poems on it. All in all, an impressive place.
