I can hear you now. “Oh my god, she used the word ‘retrospective!’ I’m going to quit reading.’” Please don’t. I did use the word, but I promise to make this retrospective short and sweet. As usual, I have written an end of the year post. I used to write about my favorite experiences during the year and last year I wrote “The Road Trip Life: A Year in on
Yes, it’s loud. Yes, it can be a bit stinky. But boy, oh boy, is it fun. I am never so happy than when astride a snowmobile. I’ve only been on a snowmobile a couple of times, but other than jet boating in Grand Junction, there’s very little that’s as exhilarating.

I’ve stayed at four out of five of these inns, and I toured the other one, so you can be assured that there is an authentic voice behind this post.

The title of this blog post may be misleading as I am not entirely sure that I am in fact “going back to golf.” Some of you may be surprised to learn that at one time I was a competent golfer. Of course, you probably won’t be surprised to learn that it was a very long time ago. During high school I worked at Avalon Golf Club (now Avalon Golf
Colorado Trail House offers something new to the traveler in a home that rings with echoes of the past. Steeped in history, Leadvillle’s lively past is palpable on every visit to the town, and whether a visitor cares a whit about history or not, it’s all around them. I have been visiting Leadville for nearly a decade, and on my most recent trip, I experienced many new Leadville sites and
When it comes to ghosts, I’m a skeptic, but I’m a skeptic with an overactive imagination. Therefore scary movies keep me up at night and staying in a haunted hotel can leave me with a racing heart and clammy palms. My most haunting ghost experience actually happened in college while I was living in a huge Victorian mansion in Bellingham, Washington. On three separate occasions, just on the verge of

Most of us have visited a haunted house at least once, but we usually only visit the cemetery when absolutely necessary. Halloween, however, provides the perfect time to visit a local cemetery and discover what legends surround those who now reside six feet under. A cemetery isn’t just the resting place of the dead, it tells the story of a town. Several local communities will be opening the gates to
