It's Friday, and the weekend events begin
|
|
|
| Breckenridge Ski Resort |
|
Taking this photo was another of my goals for the trip. This shows my 'Vette in the foreground with
my favorite ski area as a background.

Friday brought the 1st of the fun events. A car rally through the back roads (paved). Of course, a rally requires
a driver AND navigator. I was able to find a young lady (Dana Goldsmith works the front desk of the Beaver Run
Resort) in the parking lot looking for a ride. I needed a navigator so off we
went. Of course, we had to discuss who was driving and who was navigating!
I drove!

Great drive in some beautiful countryside. Breckenridge
to Copper Mountain, to Leadville, back road through the Tennessee Pass to Minturn, to I-70, past Vail, back to Copper Mountain.
Absolutely beautiful country.
I didn't log the miles but we were on the road for about 4 hours. Trick questions, fun games, photo shoot, and
even a trip up the chair lift at Copper Mountain.

As we drove from Copper back to towards Breckenridge, I asked Dana if she could drive a stick. She said her
car was a standard. At that point I offered to let her drive the 'Vette back into Breckenridge. Well, I don't
know of anything else that would have made her happier at that moment. She was so excited. She drove the 9 miles
from Frisco back to Breckenridge, right into the parking lot so her friends could see her (and be envious!)

This was another great day. Finding Dana hanging out in the parking lot
at the start of the day, she looking for a ride and me looking for a navigator, allowed both of us to enjoy an awesome day
in the sun. Wonderful!
