70TH BIRTHDAY PARTY AT RICO, COLORADO

We traveled down to southwest Colorado again to celebrate my quickly approaching 70th birthday and 3 of my oldest friends 70th birthdays.  Some of us have been hiking around the mountains for 43 years together.  Pretty cool to have friends that long and that old.  Eight of us showed up to celebrate this historic event.  We rented a house in Rico that had 4 bedrooms and a great view of the changing fall colors.  Did some great hikes and visited Telluride where we all skied together in the 70's.   And that town has sure changed.

Bill, Pam, Marney, Connie, Georgine, Gary, and Gary.

The main street of Rico.

Our house had a water problem so we could not move in for an hour.  We got the party started at the Enterprise Bar and Grill a block from our rental.

Getting all the food we brought put away.

The view out the kitchen window.

The views from the deck.

The fall colors were full on.

Like I said, the fall colors were pretty spectacular.


A little salmon to snack on.

And more food than we could eat.
