Alma, Colorado - highest incorporated city in the USA at 10,500+ ft ASL. Music and crafts fair. We had our Airstream Club Rally there. Very nice. Pancake breakfast today to support their local fire department. I not a big pancake fan but they taste “better” if they are for a local cause.
Even though I’m a native of Colorado I never knew that there was a WWII Japanese internment camp here. Never was it mentioned in the Colorado History that we had to take in the 8th grade. Now it is part of the curriculum which is good. It is in Grenada, Colorado near the intersection of Highway 50 and 385. There is a Museum right in town as well as the actual site which does not have many structures left.
In Western Kansas, between Oakley and Scott City is a very unique rock formation. This land is out of character for the rest of Kansas. The rocks are on private property and several miles on a dirt road off of KS 83. The trip is well worth it. It is the work of erosion and as the map shows there was once a hugh waterway thru middle of the continent. You could go from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada entirely on a ship!
Pat Metheny Cross the Heartland - one of his best in a career spanning several decades. From the Album ‘Airstream’. When I first started listening to PM I thought he and his band were European because they were on the ECM label. Turns out he’s from Missouri and explains the title. I have ‘tortured’ both my kids into seeing PM as a way to expand their musical horizons. Sorry kids.
2017 Edition of the Cherry Creek Art Fest did not disappoint. Great art and people watching including a space themed walk around with Aliens
Just discovered this music - very nice and uplifting.

Saturday Nite at High Plain Raceway - exhausted from a day of sort of racing. Drinking decaf with my cowgirl by my side!
Ventures doing Walk Dont Run originally written in 1954 by Johnny Smith who was a guitar professional living in Colorado Springs, CO where I grew up. I took lessons at his music store until is was determined that I had absolutely not a single shred of talent. Best to leave this to professionals was what I was told!
One of the all time greats in guitar music. The Ventures version of Pipeline
Appropriate song for Memorial Day
The Silver State Challenge is open road racing along a 90 mile stretch of highway 318 north of Las Vegas.The goal is to hit your pre-declared average MPH.
I am happy to say that my team ( myself and my son) got within 0.5 seconds of our designated time - not bad for a 58 minute race!
Sit down and listen to this one - the video is excellent as well - makes you wish you were in their town to be an extra!!
