So who’s going to the Estes Park Wool Market this year? It’s June 16 – 17 in Estes Park, Colorado. Cross your fingers for me – I’m planning to be there! (Shhhh… don’t tell the cats. Remember my thwarted plans last fall?!)
I love the Front Range area of Colorado, but I haven’t been out there since the summer of 2000, when I was in Denver for training and took a long weekend up in Boulder. I haven’t been to Estes Park since the summer of 1993. I’ll share a few pictures from that visit in a minute.
Although lodging with Margene and the Ewe-tah Girls fell through (booked up, alas), it sounds like I will be staying with Kristi and her husband in Fort Collins during the Wool Market. I hope Yarnivorous Lynne has moved to Fort Collins from Australia by then! I’m looking forward to meeting the mysterious Snow, Lisa, and hopefully many more knitbloggers. I’ll also be visiting Michaele in Denver for at least a day or two, probably after the Wool Market.
So, way back in the summer of 1993, a van filled with Forest Recreation grad students set out for a conference in Fort Collins. We definitely explored the area before and after the conference.
The obligatory visit to the Coors brewery in Golden.
A roadside coyote!
We were maybe not dressed appropriately for the hiking conditions…
Is this on the Continental Divide? I don’t remember… I still have that tie-dye tank top and those shorts – although the shorts are maybe too tight right now…
Rumor has it that May might be a Cheshire Cat in training. What do you think?
“What’s this about a vacation?! You can’t leave us alone, Mom!!! Waaaaah!!” -Mayhem
I’m so bummed I can’t meet up with you!
We will not speak of your v-word. The cats will hear us.
Okay, I meant the v-word that ends in an ‘n’ not and ‘a’. Potty brains.
Snazzy pix! I’m sure as long as you don’t tell the cats ahead of time, they’ll be okay. Just start sneaking out your clothes now, so that you won’t get caught p-a-c-k-i-n-g.
Oh, what fun! Great pictures, too. I need to make a trip out to the Rockies sometime.
I wish I was going. I’ll think healthy cat thoughts for you.
I’ll be there! (Mah-gene’s all full? Damn. Oh well… I don’t live too far away.)
Hey, come by & meet my cat boys while you’re here!! (Maybe you can get ’em to pose for better pix…)
Oh, and there is MUCH better beer to be toured out here.
You’re going??? Holy cow, so are we!!! 🙂
Best of luck making it out here this year. Looking forward to meeting you. 😀
Cute pic at the brewery!
