Catching up again...
When disease thwarted our anniversary, we took a scenic tour of Victor and learned some history.
Inside an old house, far more "modern" than most of the building there;
Birthday trip up the Mueller State park to check out the aspens
Finally made it up to our friend's property to do some camping and climbing in late October.
Playing a frisbee game called Flutterguts by headlamp.
There property is surrounded by 3 sides of cliffs and 1 side of private gate-locked drive.
Spence climbed face-first into a cactus...
Refresher of our incredibly time consuming costume
but at least we won!Taking advantage of the rule "it's not what you know it's who you know." A friend with a garage (that actually does testing on EMP proofing) towed my car to fix up a bunch of small things. No more dying, screeching, stuttering, grinding...
Joel came out for a visit over thanksgiving. We took a day at Keystone to give him a taste of Colorado... Instead it was a half day with a trip to urgent care and sending Joel home with a cast on.
Some thanksgiving day football before going to "Friendsgiving" feast with our many other nomad friends.
Since we have space for a real tree this year, we are starting the tradition of cutting our own from Pikes National Forest. It was nice to get to play in the snow for a bit since it continues to be only dustings of snow down here.

An impressive selection of photographs. Did you read in Victor about the mortician that would give discounts if everyone agreed to do their shoot-outs on a specific day of the week?
EMP-proof testing? Is that the nuclear weapon side effect EMP? That is awesome, but how does he know if it works?
I never did see that sign, hopefully next time we go I'll be in better condition (not running a fever) so we can spend more time reading and wandering.
Have you never watched a spy movie Ben? There are plenty of EMP devices that work without a nuclear explosion. Although in actuality there is a pretty big threat of EMP from solar flares, and they do a lot of work with banks and energy plants. They have an area where they shoot EMP's at stuff to see how well it's working. It was a pretty neat place!
Even though I don't understand EMP proofing I find these photos interesting and beautiful ;-).
Poor Joel--keeping the family emergency room tradition alive?
Love the pics and your new Christmas tree tradition! We'll miss you guys tomorrow!
