Bronco Bonanza

Hi everyone. Well, we are pretty much settled in our new home in Fraser. We both ended up getting jobs at Devil's Thumb Ranch, which is basically a cross-country ski resort. Brian has already started working in the kitchen as a sous chef and Beth will start in November working at the front desk. If you want to know more check out their website: www.devilsthumbranch.com
We already experienced our first blizzard and super cold temps. We went down to Denver on Beth's birthday for the Bronco's game. The Broncos won which made it an extra sweet day. Now we're getting ready for the World Series. Go Rockies!
Here are some more pics for your enjoyment:

Seattle to Fraser

We made a few stops on our way to Fraser. First, we stopped in Spokane to remember the good old days in Zag Country.
Then, we drove 12 hours to Brian's hometown: Worland, Wyoming. We spent over a week enjoying all that Worland has to offer: indian summers, uncrowded golf courses, and Brian's family. We also spent a few days at the family cabin in the Big Horn Mountains where we encountered our first snowfall of the season.
After packing up the cars one more time, we drove 7 hours on two-lane highways to Fraser, Colorado. We made it to our new home without any car troubles...if you know our record that is unbelievable.
Here are some pics from our journey to the icebox:

Welcome


Hello world.
Like modern day pioneers, we've pulled our stakes and traveled east across snowy mountains, lush valleys, and high desert plains.
Our goal: to shake the dust off our shoes and the rain off our ponchos. To live the life of mountain people away from the trials and tribulations of the modern world.
Just as Lewis and Clark documented their travels, we too will journal our happenings in the high country via the modern day format of BLOG.
These are our stories...enjoy.
