Rocky Mountain Road Trip

Our trip took us to the Southwest and after reading so much about the Turquoise Trail we just couldn't resist this adventure.  We experienced a city full of history in Santa Fe and after driving over the purple mountains of Georgia Okeeffe's Ghost Ranch, New Mexico seemed just like a gift of poetry given only to us.  The winding road to Telluride Colorado with it golden Aspen trees peaking thru let us know that fall will soon be here.    As our travels continued It took just about all the nerve I had to make it over MC Clures Pass in a wind driven thunder storm. VIsions of a 1000 foot drop down a mountain's edge had my Louisiana soul crying out for land at sea level.  We arrived at our destination and after we began cooking a pot of crawfish etoufee It seemed to calm the hurry in me to return home.  The beautiful Mount Sopris greeted me with her first dusting of snow and I was once again happy that I had come to spend some time with my dear friend. Traveling home just had to wait a couple of days.
