October 2007

Here we are at the 13 or 14 thousand foot level. It was really quite a feeling. From here we could see for hundreds of miles in every direction. After I took the picture, I had to lay down and rest for a minute to catch my breath. From here, we started back down the rocky road to the Winter's lodge.

One the first day, the Winter's son Cameron got us two 4 wheelers and took us up to the mountain tops (probably 13 or 14 thousand feet). On the way up we stopped at this old abandoned mine and took a bunch of picture. The leaves were just turning and it was as scenic a place as there is in the world I think. When we left here, we went up another 2 or 3 thousand feet. (And the air was so thin that I could only walk about 50 or 100 feet before I had to rest and catch my breath.

In October 2007 we went with the Winters and Noorlanders to Durango Colorado where Bishop Winters grew up. This winter lodge was built by the Winter's son. Since their power was from a generator that they didn't want to run all night, Teresa and I didn't stay with them. We went into town and stayed at a motel.

In October of 2007 we went with the Winters and the Noorlanders to Durango Colorado. This is the Winter home that Bishop Winter's son built. It is about 25 minutes out of Durango. The area is really gorgeous. Since they only have a generator for power, we did not stay with them because I needed something to plug my breathing machine into. So we stayed at a motel in town.
