Monday in the Denver Area - 12 Inch Snow Blizzard and 12 degrees - How Will We Ever Get Into the Mountains or Home


When we arrived in Denver last Tuesday - the temperature was 71. We had three straight days of 70s - setting a record high for the city for the date.

Lulu has been busy all week attending meetings - workshops - and conferences at the ALA/ALISE Convention. The convention is over now and we have Monday left to do a little touring. We are going into the mountains today. Unfortunately - we are having a blizzard. We have decided not to rent a car for the drive up the front range.

Instead - there are two old mining towns at about 8000 feet above sea level that are also casino destinations. They offer casino buses every hour that make the 40 mile trek to the small mining towns of Black Hawk and Central City.

Instead of fighting the cold - wind - snow - ice - in a rental car - we will cruise in the safety of a casino bus. Hopefully when we get there - we will be able to get around to the different attractions - not just sit around gambling.

Temperatures back at home in Tallahassee today and tomorrow are forecast to be 70 and 76. We leave Denver Tuesday at 3PM - hope to be home at 11 PM. Unless hopefully - we get bumped.
