So we are getting into our work routines...work started Sunday and we do 5 days a week and the hours depend on the activity level here. Basically the routine is I do the morning Sophie walk early morning...we always meet up with deer and rabbits. She loves it! Then we start work at 9 and get assigned to one or more of the cabins that are vacated. The guests are told to clean up when they leave and so far they really have looked pretty good. My afternoon typically consists of nap, read and a little exploring time. At 4:30 we wash down jeeps and ATVs that have been rented out. We have an air compressor gun to get all the dust out and then a pressure washer to get the outside clean. They all come back well used but Don and I can knock one off in 20 minutes and we usually only get 2 a night. Then it is relax time again...Not bad! Monday nite we heard an Army Band play and there were at least 80 in attendance...a great ratio for this little town.
Today on our day off we took a drive up to Montrose and then over to Ouray, advertised as the Little Switzerland of the the west. Hard to get photos of this majestic town as the mts are so vast. We wandered the streets and drove in the hills..gorgeous, but it is too bad we had to travel by the main roads. The fun way is across the mts by jeep, but it took almost 3 hours by car. Next time we will bring our tent and stay over...
On the way there..cows everywhere in these vast plains:
