It was 1970 and there were 300 or so hearty souls in residence. There was a great Mexican restaurant, a few good bars, a book store, a gal named Sue Anderton who had a great art gallery, a guy named Cordley Coit, and his brother, the lawman, Kemp, who befriended me. The streets were gravel, there was no glitz. It was just beautiful and simple. Every single day. I remember Crested Butte before it was a ski destination.

You make Brits want to move there too! I've been several times when I worked in Callifornia and used to drive to the Rockies each summer to escape the heat of Sacramento. The Forest Queen is the best place to stay definitely. A good "local" atmosphere! What a beautiful description of a beautiful place. You make Brits want to move there too!

You make it sound so good everyone will want to move to Crested Butte. Someone is bound to be upset that you have done such a great job describing our town and more Texans and Virginians will want to move here. This was a great summary of why we love it here. See you on the trails. Charley There you go, getting the locals stirred up again.

I adore your passionate review of what our little CB santuary has to offer. I love how you pepper the descriptions with captivating word choices that lead the reader from the words on the page to being physically transported. I can feel the snow bite and see the flowers wave in the breeze in my minds catalog of photographic moments. I believe that words accomplish what pictures never can!
