Delayed by a visit to a suburb of Boulder in order to get a \u201cping\u201d fixed on the windshield of our newly beloved Camry, we did not get to the Kraskey\u2019s spacious mountain homestead until noon on August 26. \u00a0The cabin is really impressive, so spacious and elegantly appointed, and Steve has done an incredible job of landscaping. \u00a0Mutual cruising friend John (Sojourn<\/em>) arrived shortly before us, and after lunch we had all settled into a game of Mexican Train during which Linda demonstrated that she has not lost her touch.<\/p>\n

Next day we all went for a walk over some of the 114 wooded acres of the property.\u00a0 Afterwards Barb & I on one 4-wheeler and John on another explored additional paths through their forest.\u00a0 Cruisers Kenny and Kathy (<\/span>No Zip Code<\/em>) joined us later that day, as did Dave (formerly <\/span>Daniel Story), <\/em>so we had quite the reunion. \u00a0Late in the afternoon of August 27 we all piled into vehicles and took pictures at the surprising \u201cYacht Club\u201d sign, after which we went to a stretch of highway from where the profile of a \u201csleeping giant\u201d could be seen on a distant mountain. \u00a0Then another gourmet meal prepared by Linda. \u00a0She is teased about her place being called Linda’s Bistro<\/em>. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Great fun to see old friends; we would have stayed longer and made ourselves pests, but we had commitments further down the road and had to leave on the morning of August 28.\u00a0 Stay tuned for more about that.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t
