Estes Park

Tim: It has been a long time since I last posted so I figured I would get back into it again (as well as give Candy a break from writing so much!). Today, we headed on a quick trip to Estes Park, Colorado. Estes Park is located in the mountains northwest of Boulder. The elevation is at roughly 7,500 feet.

Estes Park is located near the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park and is absolutely spectacular. We saw so many elk in town today. They were almost tame, just walking around town like they owned the place. In one location (a golf course fairway), we saw over 70 camped out. Here are two shots of some of the elk from today below:



The town is also home of The Stanley Hotel, the hotel where Stephen King's classic 1970's horror movie "The Shining" was filmed (I am sure everyone remembers the classic line from Jack Nicholson's character in the movie: "Here's Johnny!"). It was a big hotel but seemed smaller than it was depicted in the movie. Here is a picture of me in front of the hotel:


Below is a picture of Candy from today with the mountains in the background. As you can see, the mountains are spectacular, snow covered, and quite majestic.


We are doing very well so far and could not be more pleased with our new home state. My job is going very well and the transition from coaching to business has been relatively smooth. Every morning that I drive to work is beautiful. Imagine seeing a mountain range every day on your commute to work. We are truly blessed indeed.

Have a great Sunday and we will keep the reports and pictures coming!
