Visit to Creede

Every year we go up to Creede to visit the site where Jim’s parent’s ashes are scattered.  So last Friday we took that drive and we sure picked a beautiful day to do it.

Narrow road up Bachelor Loop-yes, it’s two way traffic on that itty-bitty road!	Mountains still have some snow on them
Nice view these folks have.

Pretty view coming down

Going back to Alamosa we decided to stop and look at Beaver Creek Reservoir to see how low the water level was this year.

The drive up is precarious…those trees are 340-50 feet tall down the side of the cliffs	Ice melting on the reservoir
Pretty view looking south	Water has dropped about 20-30 feet

On the way out of town we stopped to see Rich

and Terri Deacon, great buddies and managers of the South Fork Campground.  We caught them racking up leaves in preparation to opening May 1st.

Our arrival necessitated a break and a chat.

That was our Friday….what did you do?

Remember, you are loved.

Dinner at the Bistro

We had a delightful dinner with Kevin Rogers and his family.  Kevin is the owner and worked with Jim at Rogers Family Mortuary and they have remained friends.

We ate the Bistro Rialto here in Alamosa.  The restaurant is housed in what use to be the Rialto Theatre, which burned years ago.  The back end was demolished but the front was able to be saved and this is where the Bistro was built.

The entry is very tastefully done with photographs of famous Italian movie stars, known Italian buildings and scenery.  Very attractive.

I really like the interior….how they left some of the building’s original brick exposed. This sitting area is small and intimate with tables and booths.  There is also a larger dining area for groups across the entryway.

The food was wonderful as always.  The pizza, calzones and lasagna are excellent.  As is the pistachio ice cream.

We always like to visit with Kevin and Emma who enjoy camping and the outdoors.

Remember, you are loved.
