Beautiful Crested Butte

DAZI and I were so happy to see each other again in Denver!
We left early Tuesday morning headed for Crsted Butte, a town whose beauty Nev has talked about for years and one I wanted to see with my own eyes.
The 5 hour drive from Denver to Crested Butte stretched into 7 partly because DAZI puttered her way up most of the steep inclines that took us to the continental divied at 11, 300 feet, and partly becasue I stopped every five minutes to take pictures of the turning leaves and incredible scenery I just could not whizz by when we were going downhill!!
What a stunning drive it was.
To top it off I was welcomed into the town of Crested Butte by Doug and Joyce, old friends of Matt and Lou's, who are lucky enough to live there and who spoiled me to a yummy Thai dinner at The Ginger Cafe before allowing DAZI and I to camp out at the bottom of their property before our scheduled early morning departure headed for Bryce Canyon, Utah, the next day.
Thank you so much!!
I hope we meet again... maybe in Greece?
I took this pic as I was heading out of town...
spectacularly beautiful and well worth the long haul!
