Rocky Mountain Run

[scottybusa]

 You just road through my back yard for four days...  

 Bastid...

Uh, uh, uh............................WAS your backyard...........

 

It's actually MY backyard..............

Here are two views looking at where Hwy34 goes into the mountains (about 3 miles away).

Right over the trampoline is where the fun begins!!!!

The little stumps in the middle used to be aspen trees, before elk came in last winter and gnawed them to the ground!!!!

The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park. Steven King stayed here years ago and found inspiration to write The Shining. While the original movie was filmed at a joint in Montana IIRC, the made for TV rendition was in fact filmed right here in town at this ancient resort.

Note: The wind was bad, hence the fuzzy quality about the photo. Too lazy to break out my tripod for this one as I was close to home base.

I have beed there too!

I actually stayed in the "Stephen King Suite" at the Stanley a few years back.............tried to get my wife to let me rent "The Shining" to watch during our stay,.................. but she strongly declined!!!!
