Crested Butte

We have one day off during the tour. We get to spend two days in Crested Butte. This ski town has mountains surrounding it on every side and is the most beautiful town we have stayed in. By the time Mom and Dad got in yesterday, I had already gotten bandaged up and had things set up. We had a great Mexican dinner and walked around town. The town itself is actualy pretty small. Crested Butte has some of the best mountain biking in the country, and this week is hosting the Fat Tire Bike Week. Originally, I had booked a mountain bike rental for today, but have had to cancel that due to my accident.
This morning, we got up and walked to a coffee shop for hot chocolate and pastries. Then we did laundry and got Mom up. We had a great breakfast at McGills (Great french toast and omletts).
This afternoon, we took the shuttle to the ski area and then took the ski lift to the top. From there, we hiked up to the Peak at 11850 feet. The views were jaw dropping. Stay tuned for pics when I get a chance to upload them.

Hi,
Sounds like you had a great day in Crested Butte. I am grateful that your "little fall" did not damage you too severely. I will continue to pray for your strength and safety.
Looking forward to hearing more in person.
Love, Nancy
