Tennis Anyone???

We climbed the Rockies on Wed. Sept. 15 and made our way through the Eisenhower Tunnel and on to Frisco and Breckenridge.  We spent a nostalgic evening driving arouind and seeing where Reid used to live, work and play.  It's such a neat area!  Tiger Run RV Resort was as scenic as we remembered it as well.  Then it was on to Grand Junction and a three night visit with our friends Helen and Glenn Arnold.  We parked in the street in front of their home and had a fantastic visit.  We played tennis each morning on the court at their daughter's home and in the afternoons we had a guided tour of the Grand Valley area to include the downtown as well as the fertile Palisade orchards and vineyards.  Most spectacular was our drive through the Coloroado National Monument.  Every turn in the road gave us another spectacular view...and we could also see it from Arnold's home.  What a great place to live!                                  We're now in Montrose, CO, parked next to friends Art and June Nelson and will spend a week or so visiting with them and exploring some more of "Colorful Colorado."
