Jarvis Suite Hotel Durango

... we visited the highest and lowest points in the forty-eight contiguous states. When we arrived below sea level, I admit my face and head felt just like that, underwater. Even though the speed of the car was over 50 miles per hour, we were sweating. Hot air poured in through the windows but we dare not reduce speed and decrease any opportunity for wind. Looking outside the vultures were rising on the thermals (heated air ...

... mountain town that has grown because of the railroad that stops here. We met some lovely people from New Mexico, Lisa and Brad, who camped next to us with their dog and 2 cats. Tomorrow we are headed North along a scenic route through the San Juan National Forest. RVing is the best.<br>

... br>There, Joe. There's your mention :)<br><br>Oh, Joe. I miss you and love you too! Now turn that frown upside down! :)<br><br>Before I go, I wanted to share some more great news. My boyfriend's grandparents are coming to Chino Valley on August 24 to see our show! It will be great to know people in the audience! I'm excited to see them on Monday night!<br><br>Well, that's all for me! Time to go to bed :) Have a wonderful weekend everyone! <br><br>Megan

... how my parents surprised me by coming to our first show in Denver? <br><br>Well, it wouldn't be the full (original) Luebke family without my awesome sister, Alyson!<br><br>She flew from Minnesota last Saturday to see the show in Aspen! I was so excited to see her! It meant a lot to me that she came, especially since her Aspen stay lasted less than 12 hours as she was on a plane back to Minnesota before 6:00 a.m. the next morning.<br><br>Can you say best ...

... Apparently it happens often :) Her house is quite large but constructed in a neat way. She lives in a passive solar house which is a home that uses the sunlight for useful energy. Her home is like one long hallway with many windows on one side and rooms on the other. The floor of the hallway attracts the sun and uses the energy to heat the home. Her home is a green home (environmentally-friendly) and will be a wonderful place to live ...

... ricocheted off the walls of the bowl, appeared to dissipate, then echoed back off the walls of the adjacent rifts after delays of more than 5 seconds. No wonder they were an hour late. <br><br>Unfortunately, the camera battery was charging back at the house. While it was nice to have a light load, the cell phone camera doesn't produce great shots. Better than nothing though.

... Magazine's 'Best BBQ in the West' a couple years ago and we were dying to try it. They only have about 6 sandwiches and a few sides on their menu, but it was still hard to decide what to get. We ended up getting a pulled pork sandwich, a beef brisket sandwich, and a side of cheezy potatoes to share. It was all really good and even better, CHEAP! We will definitely be going there again!<br> While we were eating on the porch/deck at the restaurant ...

... these defunct mines economically viable again, and there is a big fight by local residents to keep mining companies away. Lots of interesting/angry signs along the tour route... It's hard to describe the amazing scenery around you on this kind of trip. These are good pictures, but they just don't capture the sense of size you get from being there. We made a couple of stops along the way to visit some of the snowmelt ...

... had some lift loading difficulties after lunch, all of us go on the 6 person lift and all of a sudden Kristin was accelerating down the hill down in front of us. But she did manage to wipe all of the snow off her seat and had a nice little run through the shrubbery and stayed upright.

Today we left the casino and headed back to Four Corners. It was open this time. We took pictures standing on all four states at once. I walked around all four states&#61514;; unfortunately I didn't time how long it took. We walked around the Native American booths. Some gifts were purchased and we talked with some of the sellers. Next stop was Mesa Verdes. It is a National Park that covers the area where Native American cave dwellings ...
