What to wear on Snow, Windy, and then Sunny Day

noreply@blogger.com (Hyperspider) — Mon, 24 May 2010 14:49:00 +0000

Woke up the morning with light snow. Walked for 5 minutes down the street thru town, it turn into a blizzard. Then went into Steaming Bean to warm up my hands. Then the clouds, wind stopped and blue sky broke out.

Crazy, crazy late May weather.

I want one.

National Chains here in Telluride, yeah right. 10Best.com you FAIL

noreply@blogger.com (Hyperspider) — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 06:35:00 +0000

I was doing some research on Google, when I put in Telluride Shopping.

A site called 10Best, Trusted Advice for Travelers (http://www.10best.com/Telluride,CO/Shopping/) was the number one position.

I thought, hmmm, it must be good.

However, when I read "Visitors will be pleased to discover that shopping in Telluride can include stops by national chains for basics...", WHAT?

Anyone that has been to Telluride, knows there is NO national chains in Telluride. OK, Yes we have a Conoco outside of town, and maybe one can nit-pick a couple of others, but I vote for FAIL!

Anyway just trying to set it straight future Telluride shoppers and us locals who are proud of our uniqueness.

Screen print of the site.

I especially enjoy the mall bit. :)

Minority Report Showing At Willow Way

noreply@blogger.com (Hyperspider) — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 06:43:00 +0000

As strange as this sounds, tonight was the first time I have watched in entirety Minority Report http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0181689/ . I had checked it out from our library. http://www.telluridelibrary.org/

I enjoyed the film, it was a must see because of all the references to its "future" technology that is occurring now.

For the few people out there that have NOT seen it here is the trailer on youTube:

Willow Way Theatre

noreply@blogger.com (Hyperspider) — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 07:14:00 +0000

Welcome to the Willow Way Theatre!

When I purchased Mary Dawn's holiday gift, I did not realize how big 11'9" really was. That is the width of the movie screen. Today, we had it professionally mounted (I am better with computers). It turned out much better than expected.

Below is Mary Dawn in front of the screen.

The lights were added to help with lighting for this photo, but the frame capture was on a scene that did not move much. My DVD player does not have a pause. Can any one guess the film? Ok, not really a tough question....

Anyway, still a few more tweaks with placement of projector, but movie night is going to be a lot of fun.

Christmas Day at Allred's with Marco Missinato

noreply@blogger.com (Hyperspider) — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 01:33:00 +0000

After a day of skiing with Mary Dawn, we stopped by Allred's to listen to the great Marco Missinato at Allred's.

Note photos where taken by a lot of people using my camera.

Marco playing the piano.

In the spirit of the holidays, I wore a bow, rosy cheeks and all.

In the spirit with Mary Dawn! The photo that I smiled I looked goofy, so I choose this one.

The view at Allred's is amazing. Here is the reflection of the bar.

Beer with a view!

Backpack trip up to Ice Lake Basin

noreply@blogger.com (Hyperspider) — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 17:48:00 +0000

Last weekend, Mary Dawn, Smokie and Valentino went backpacking up to Ice Lake Basin.

For being as close to Telluride, I had never been. From the map and the descriptions it looked amazing. It is a realitivly short hike but with 2400 feet of elevation gain. We have not been backpacking for several years (Valentino and Smokie's first time), so we knew it would be "up".

To get there from Ski Ranches, the shortest route is over the 4-wheel road Ophir Pass. Another first for me, Mary Dawn had down this route before.

The first couple of photos were of trip over Ophir Pass. It is the easiest of the 4-wheel roads into Telluride.

We did a quick stop in to Silverton, and the we drove to Clear Lake Trail Head. I had been by here when I had done the Colorado Trail, gosh ~15 Years back.

Lots, and lots of vehicles at the trailhead. Which was expected. We loaded up, put Smokie's pack on and headed up the trail.

The trail switch backs up Clear Creek, then turns left across a meadow.

Then a non-stop climb up to Lower Ice Lake basin. We had lunch there. The boys got their normal chicken necks for lunch.

We pass thru the "corn field", and rested before the last climb up in the Ice Lake Basin. The trail here as a little bit of exposure, nothing serious, but we were watchful for the dogs getting to close to the edge.

Once we got up on top, we were treated to the most stunning blue lakes I have ever seen. And I have seen quite a few alpine lakes, but Ice Lake was amazing. The sky and the lake where the same shade of blue.

Speaking of the sky, that weekend weather was incredible. Not a cloud in the sky. You have to understand that August is monsoon season. It typically rains for a bit in the afternoon. Not this weekend.

The wildflowers were incredible!

We scouted around for a spot to set up camp. Found one, setup the Walrus tent, and then went exploring around Ice Lake Basin. Our destination was Fuller Lake. We rested there for a bit, and headed back for dinner.

Dinner:

The pups were so tired. Big day for them.

Went to bed early, during the middle of the night, the dogs started to bark, so into our tent they came. A bit cramped, but it made it warmer. :) Maybe they were barking at the Alpine "elves"

The next morning we did our chores, packed up, and went for a small day hike up to some of the Upper Ice Lakes.

Nice hair!

We both had full weeks the next week, so we headed back down to the truck. Mary Dawn was a bit sore in the shoulders, we might need to invest in a backpack for her next time.

Overall it was a GREAT, AMAZING trip.
