July 10th, 2009 (Day 3)

Friday, July 10th, 2009:

Today is the day when the rest of our group arrives in Colorado. Cindy and I must check out of our accommodations at Silver Creek, after trying unsuccessfully to change our reservations from Fraser.

We speak with Jim and Ruth after they land in Denver and make arrangements to meet them at the top of Berthoud Pass around 2pm. As we had some time to kill, we headed up to Winter Park, had a nice lunch at Rudi's Deli, and walked around some of the shops

Cindy and I arrive at the Pass around 1:30, take a short hike on the Continental Divide Trail, and meet Jim, Ruth, Dave and Nitsa around 2:30.



The weather is beautiful, warm (80), a little windy at the Pass. We drive down to Winter Park and have ice cream at "The Scoops" while we wait until 4 pm to check into our condos in Fraser.






The drive from Berthoud Pass through Winter Park to Fraser passes through a valley that is dominated by Byers Peak on the West......


We arrive in Fraser, CO, "Icebox of the Nation".....


The visitor center in Fraser has a little park with statues of the some famous mountain men.. such as Jeremiah Johnson....


Except for Pete and Barb, we are now settled in our 2 condos at Twin Rivers. Pete and Barb flew to Denver today and will join us tomorrow morning.
6 of us pile into the Edge............

and drive to Winter Park to eat at Randi's Irish Pub
