San Luis Valley

One of the most remarkable places we visited was the San Luis Valley in Colorado. The valley is the size of NJ and gets an average of 6″ of rain a year. One afternoon, Charlie and I walked for a few hours in the valley. The weather changed quickly from warm and sunny, to cool with snow flurries, and back to warm and sunny.

We only passed a few homes and an occasional sign….

We drove from the San Luis Valley west into the Rocky Mountains to get to Paonia. This is Kevin our bus driver and one of the sunniest people I’ve met. He often led Bea and I in songs from the 70’s and 80’s.
