Aspen Day 1

We had a very lovely day today.  Sunny and blue sky, but a bit chilly.  The 1 hour drive to Aspen went well.  Mary got a great picture of Mt Sopris.  We got to Aspen and our AirBnB condo OK, and moved our luggage in before heading to the Meet and Greet.  

The Meet and Greet was pretty well attended, with one big surprise - close to half the crowd were first time attendees!   Mary visited with many friends and acquaintances.  Even Jim Horn came this year!  I got my picture taken with Jim next to the rock with his favorite JD song and we had a nice chat about his career and experience with John Denver. 

After that we walked back to our condo and got unpacked.  We then headed out to the campfire cookout on the road to the Maroon Bells.  We roasted hot dogs over an open fire and visited with a lot of people, some old acquaintances and quite a few new ones.

So tonight we are getting caught up and preparing for visiting the Maroon Bells tomorrow morning, with a concert in the evening.
