A visit to the fairy caves in Glenwood Springs aka Glenwood Caverns

 Bruce and Carlos (friend and co-worker) in the caves.  If you are ever in this part of Colorado, the caves are definitely worth the time to go see.  While it was pushing 94 degrees outside, it was a cool 50+ inside.  Glad we brought jackets.
One has to take a gondola up to the top of the mountain before ascending into the caves for a guided tour.  Over the past several years the owners have up graded the attraction by adding rides and an additional cave tour.  We didn't partake in the rides as most are for kids, but next time I think the Alpine Slide might be fun....
 The main cathedral.

Pulled over by a cop and I got this "business card"






Bruce was having abdominal pain and bloating at 1am so we left for the emergency room in Glenwood Springs.  Of course I was driving as fast as I could in the middle of the night to safely get him there and this Sheriff pulls us over for speeding and a malfunctioning head light.  He escorted us to the emergency room before running his "check" on me and the vehicle.  Nice.
No ticket for speeding.  I thought it was interesting that the department puts all these phone contacts on the back of the calling card.  I like the "jail" entry.  I guess my identity is a little confusing with the Jeep being insured in CA, my drivers license in Nevada and the vehicle registered in Colorado.
Bruce is doing fine...it was a small intestine block...they are keeping him for observation.  No worries and no Fox News for me tonight!

The horse wanting to get back to the barn

I kidnapped him to pick some salad greens for dinner at the community garden after his "colon" doctors appt.  He got clearance to do anything he wants except for nuts larger than a sunflower seed.
Anyone want some kale, chard, spinach, lettuce?  I have way too much.


Bear photos and videos may not happen this year.  The fruiting and nut trees are abundant.
