A very nice drive from Glenwood Springs, to Basalt, CO. early this morning. There is lots of summer construction ongoing in this area, private homes and commercial building. There was a 10 minute wait to pay for coffee at the 7-11 near our hotel this morning. Then off we went along with all the other commuters heading south on Colorado 82.
