Work Finished!

So the last guests left last Sunday morning, and we spent that afternoon, Monday, and some of Tuesday cleaning up the remaining rooms. Tuesday night we all took a trip down to Monte Vista and saw Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. It was nice to get out, do something all together, and the movie was a lot of fun, really liked the way they created the retro-future world and stuck with it, felt like being in golden era comic book, although Gwyneth Paltrow's character got a little annoying.

We were going to go on a horseback ride the next day, but got rained (by Colorado standards) out, so I went on a hike around the north side of the ranch and found this weird little house and a couple cabins and a barn, looked sort of abandoned, but not entirely. Apparently it's land, about 100 acres that was given to the old foreman 20 or 30 years ago and is now used by his family. I'll be posting a lot of pictures online soon, so there'll be some way for y'all to see them. I'll let you know more through here.

Now I'm in Denver. So much (sub)urban sprawl. For the next day or so I'll be staying at Whitney's house, which is actually in a pleasant spot, near a little state, or maybe local, park, not too much traffic or building nearby. We drove up yesterday with Justin and Tyler and, after dropping off our stuff at her house, we took them up to Justin's aunt and uncle's house in Boulder and ate a late dinner there. Then we said a temporary good-bye, they'll be around for a week and we'll see them again, I'll be headed to Boulder tomorrow, probably. Things are good. Don't really know what's after Monday. I'll write later, sooner I hope, more about the ranch probably. And the pictures. If you know anyone in the area, let me know.
