This place is amazing.
Glenwood springs is a pretty awesome place, everyone is friendly, even the homeless folk asking for change are friendly. Definitely a cool place. We took a chair lift up to some caves in the hillside which was pretty cool, but that was the end of Glenwood springs for us. We departed to Ouray Colorado in the afternoon. this place is awesome, Half the town is lifted or muddy trucks/jeeps. A real cool relaxed vibe, one main street and the rest of the town is dirt roads. We even saw a deer walk along the side street near our hotel. it walked towards us until about 10 feet in front of us, then just silently trotted down another side street.
Adam and I NEARLY stayed in a hotel furnished like the late 1800′s, no tv, heat comes from a small stove, and a bathtub in the room surrounded by simply curtains. The room was huge, and a good price. We talked it over dinner and Adam and I were about to stay there while the other 3 went to a pretty standard hotel, but the room sold by the time we went back. Whatever, I am pretty pumped about tomorrow’s wheeling.
goodnight internets…
Glad you’ve all had the chance to see what it’s like to be around friendly people. I grew up in the Midwest where people are friendly so I know what you mean. To quote The Hangover movie (saw it in a theatre last summer) again….lost Doug? No posts from him in days. Perhaps he is busy planning next summer’s trip.
