August 11, 2010
We had a bad time last night. The temperature got pretty cold last night. We didn’t bring a big enough blanket and neither one of us wanted to get out of bed and turn on the furnace. Then to make it much worse my trusty navigator fell and cut her face badly. She is never going to be the same. I have really gotten quite attached to the old girl and I am going to miss her calming voice. Aimee suddenly tells me to get a life and just buy a new GPS. I did but the new girl just isn’t the same.
We got up early today and drove for an hour and a half to Frisco, CO, heart of Colorado’s ski country. We are surrounded by several ski resorts but thankfully there is no snow. Nonetheless, the tall mountains surrounding us are gorgeous. Thanks to one of my sisters, we got a great idea to enjoy the scenery. We rented bikes and had them hauled to the top of nearby Vail pass. From there it is an hour and a half downhill bike ride back to Frisco. It is very pretty but the route does follow Interstate 70 so highway noise is never far away. 
Aimee and I did feel a little guilty as we watched more than a few people pedal in the opposite direction. They must be in great shape. Our path takes us thru the heart of Copper Mountain Resort. We stopped for an hour to have lunch and do some window-shopping. Back in Frisco, we pedaled over to Lake Dillon to sit and stare at the water. The weather is just delightful. Cool and Sunny. We sat for almost an hour staring at the water and soaking up the sun.
