We're finally at our destination just outside Estes Park, CO. Our friends Kay and Ernie's son in laws family has owned cabins up here for years. At one point some of them were rented to the summer help in the national park or shops in Estes Park or just vacationers. Several years ago one of the cabins burned so a vacant space exists and that's where Starship Avion has landed. In addition to Kay and Ernie another couple from Columbus have joined us. At one time we all lived in Columbus so it was fun to catch up on the happenings. Our camp is about 3 miles from Estes Park which is a total tourist town. There are the tee shirt shops, jewelry stores, candy and ice cream shops, etc, etc. You've been "there" I'm sure. Just outside town is Rocky Mountain National Park. Yes, the park is crowded now, but you know what, every once in a while you will look at a towering peak or a mountain meadow and the thought hits you "This is what it looked like 200 years ago when an Indian, mountain man, or trapper looked at the same sight". What a thrill.
