Yep, Pagosa Springs, CO doesn't have much choice for AOL dialup, closest city was 60 miles away that I could dial into.  56k modem could only manage a 16k connection last night :-(.  Tonight, I'm flyin at 28.8 baby! woo hoo!  Ouray, Colorado ROCKS! ;-)

>Beautiful pictures though, way cool castle. 

Castle was beyond words...just nutty.  Pictures, don't do ANYTHING justice that we have seen.

>Where are the rocc's gold rims though? 

In the garage...205/50/15 Summer tires just didn't mix with what I thought I could encounter (snow).

Yeah, as we head north, the trees are getting bare.  Nice use of decidous, btw.  Rare word. :-)

Having a relaxing evening here in Ouray...uploading the new pics now...will get Day 2 up here in a couple of hours :-)
