the White River to Meeker Then went south and east to Glenwood Springs After obtaining motel rooms we tra traveled on up the Roaring Fork Valley to Carbondale then up the beautiful canyon south of there to Redstone and Marble Colorado This drive was so beautiful with the gold and red foliage on the high mountains Inthe in inthe inthe the background There is some beautiful white marble on the mountains that sometimes breaks loose and slides down to the river in the spring We each got a piece of this to bring home with us Later in the afternoon we came back to Glenwood Springs to our rooms Some of the Senior Citizens went swimming in the hot water sulphur springs pool while the rest of us wat wat- ched We discovered that we had some mermaids with us as they went swimming again that r night in the motel pool It was lightning thundering and raining on them but they stayed in the pool and waited for the motel owner to turn out the lights I dont don't know how late they were in the pool but they were there eyed bright-eyed and tailed bushy-tailed ready to go up to Aspen at 8 am a.m. the next mor mol ning The scenery was sure something to see with the green pines yellow and andred red foliage of the aspens against the background of white snow on the higher mountains Everyone was fascinated with a little lilUe church building so we turned off on a narrow side road to get a picture of it While driving on up this road for several miles looking for a place to turn around we came upon a small music school I Iwas Iwas Iwas was so glad we had to go a long longway longway longway way to turn around because I have never seen a more beautiful view than we saw there of the mountains Some of the towns we passed through on our our way home were Basalt Glenwood Springs Silt New Castle and Rifle Nineteen miles north of Rifle at Rio Blanco we turned west to come up Creek The word is a Ute Indian word ord meaning tall grass This area has many beautiful ranches which have both sheep and cattle Also there are many natural gas wells Edgar Jones was especially interested in this area because he has owned a ranch there in days past Edgar was able to add many inter interesting sting bits of information about this whole area Edgar and Amanda are very nice people to go on a trip with and we really appreciate them Also our deep appreciation appreciation
