2017: Slow morning. Finally hopped on the motorcycle to check out the park. Headed down into the canyon on Portal Road. Quite a steep hill, 16%! Ashley kept sliding forward into me on the way. Ended up right next to the Gunnison River in the bottom of the canyon. Very cool! Had the place to ourselves and rode up till the road was closed at the dam. The rugged walls of the canyon are intimidating - like a slot canyon with teeth! Then backup to the top of the cliffs and to the visitor center. Watched the video,picked up post cards and headed along the road to the end. Stopped at a few overlooks but weren't quite feeling it so didn't actually hike much. Back to the RV to warm up (threatening snow and rain) and lounge about, enjoying electricity and watching some movies while we have a chance.
2018: Work day. Got papers from mortgage underwriter and e-signed all of themplus collected some additional paperwork they want. Still have to printsome out and sign those but they're ready for tomorrow.
2019: Lots of running around today. Dropped Ashley off at work and back toBayfield for a dentist visit. Then into town with stops at hardware andthrift stores to pick up a few things. To the store and Robin had to leaveto get Bill in to the hospital. Cookies and ice cream and cake forKristen's birthday. Worked for a bit and then headed home. Ashley cookedand I got the groundcloth in place in the garden and laid out the gardenbed walls. Supper on the porch and then reading before bed.
2020: Lily had a pediatrician appointment, so she and Ashley went in for thatwhile I waited in the car (got some work and reading done while waiting).Then home and I headed into work. Finished with the track lights andcleaned up my mess. Also got some other little projects taken care of sothat we can open on Monday. Back home for the evening, made supper, and abit of reading before bed.
2021: I took Lily to the store with me (first time I took her to Durango, and wewere in the Jeep!) and we hung out at the store for a bit while Ashley wentto the health department and got the first round of her covid shot. Shecame and picked up Lily once she was done and after we picked up coffeethey headed home. I finished hanging the display system in the frame shopand worked on paperwork before heading home for the day.
2023: We all slept much better last night. Grabbed breakfast from downstairs andate in the room, then Lily and I went to the pool while Ashley packed upfor the day. Lots of fun in the pool and Lily was ready at about the timewe planned on wrapping up. Grabbed showers to wash off the chlorine andthen checked out of the hotel. Picked up lunch at a restaurant to eatfurther down the road. Lily napped in the car a bit after we ate (I guessthe hour of swimming worked!) and we made it home pretty comfortably. Niceto be home. Community meeting about water options to deal with PFAS. Ashleyput Lily to bed and watched via Zoom while I went in person.
