Today we woke up to light rain and snow on the mountaintops.
Mary snapped this photo of the Wheeler as we headed to "Good-Bye, Again". There were about 50 people for this closing event which, due to weather, was moved inside the Chalet. After that we headed for Glenwood Springs where we grabbed some subs and headed for Glenwood Canyon for a nice picnic at a rest area. As we continued east, we started to see some state highway trucks and, sure enough, we hit some light snow at Vail Pass (10,600' elevation). It was very pretty as you can see from this picture.
The snow cleared as we headed east (there were "ice on road" warnings at the Eisenhower tunnel) but after that no traffic issues at all.We stopped at Georgetown to shop and visit the post office and to get a little break from the drive. It was nice to see that quaint berg again and to hear how the owner of the Shoppe International had 30 minutes to teach John Denver to drive a sleigh for the movie "The Christmas Gift".
Tomorrow it's back to Detroit and to work on Wednesday. It's been a great trip with lots of "Aspen Moments" to recall.

What a nice ending to see snow to what seemed to be a nice time away . The photos are so pretty .
Thanks Bill for taking me on the trip with you both . Pat
As Pat said, a nice way to end your trip. You got snow, Georgetown and beautiful vistas.
Hope your flights were uneventful and you get time to rest up before going back to work!
Thanks for all the great pictures and blog updates, Bill!!
