This is the same kind gentlemen who lent us his apartment on weekends […]]]> https://calderescapes.com/posts/western-colorado/ https://calderescapes.com/posts/western-colorado/#comments Fri, 24 Jul 2015 04:25:59 +0000 http://calderescapes.com/?p=6584     Upon returning to Denver, Doug still had more work than he’s used to so we hung around the city and stayed with friends of his from his days of working in Denver (2002-03). Weather here is sunny, hot but dry and comfortable for the most part. After our two day visit, we took […]]]> https://calderescapes.com/posts/western-colorado/feed/ 1 https://calderescapes.com/posts/side-trip-home-to-canada/ Tue, 23 Jun 2015 19:30:54 +0000 http://calderescapes.com/?p=6450 BTW should you ever want to know where we are any at given time, Fran tries to keep the home page updated with our location – it’s usually several days ahead of these actual escape posts.
