Platform tennis in Teluride 1999
Drove to Teluride with a toddler in the back seat. Long drive, fantastic scenery. Tourney was casual. I think they only had one court. I played with John the engineering prof from School of Mines. I think we won. Most of the locals had barely played the game before.
There was an awesome party thrown by one of the millionaire locals.

D&N 50th, Gunflint lodge & Silver Bay
We had a pro photographer come take group pictures. These are my outtakes. Dave and Nancy, Paula and Jeremy, Tim, Eileen, and Madeline in attendance.
Madeline was about six months old. We schlept 100 pounds of baby gear through the Minneapolis airport on a 99F day to our rental car, then drove north for 4-5 hours to the Gunflint lodge.
I remember that Pops had paid for the Platinum meal plan at the lodge’s 4 star restaurant. Giant breakfasts, “a little lunch” in our cabin, a five course meal every night. There was little to be done towards burning away the 7,000 calories we were packing in every day. I gained 10 pounds. Great time all the way around tho.
We stopped in at Silver Bay on the way home to visit Uncle Ed. Here’s a few random shots.
House on Qualla Ct under construction Boulder
My parents and sister were out for Xmas. We walked over to where our new home was being built. This small neighborhood was a behive of activity as 20 or so homes were going up.
Truck Camping in the Mt. Princeton Hot Springs Area
Located just south of Buena Vista west of Hwy 285, and one of our favorite places to camp. There was a forest service camp ground nearby, but as was our habit, we jameed our 4WD truck back into some obscure but flat spot and camped for free. Plus in this case we had a much better view.
The name of the creek running through the area was “Chalk Creek”, and I have a memory of these white cliffs being called the Chalk Cliffs.
The exact month of this trip is unknown.
