Traveling to Aspen

We are on our way to Aspen for the 26th memorial celebration of the passing of John Denver.  Mary counted that this is her 16th time and it's my 12th.  Our trip began with a flight to Denver, pickup a rental car, then drive to Glenwood Springs for dinner at the Glenwood Canyon Brewpub. I loved coming here because they had a reasonably priced menu and my favorite beer, Hanging Lake Honey Ale; make that had my favorite beer.   They changed the name of the beer to Hanging Lake Light Lager and it was a disappointment, lacking that sweet kick from the honey, so they just lost a customer.  

On our way we here we headed west on I-70, driving through the Rockies, and in one snowstorm, plus Glenwood Canyon, to reach our destination.   You can see the snow in the picture on the left.  Glenwood Canyon was as impressive as always. I recall hearing that the road was closed for a while over the summer due to rock slides.  You can see evidence of that in the picture on the right.

Not much else to say.  Tomorrow we head to Aspen to move into our AirBnB and go to Meet and Greet.
