Coming to Colorado offers many great outdoor activities. We will be packing up to head to Denver later today, but this is what we have enjoyed while in Colorado Springs.

We arrived at the Marriott West for the Denver Mineral Show events. Short drive up from Colorado Springs, we arrived to the hotel and, of course, saw many friends there. The evening event was the reception at the Colorado School of Mines. We saw great minerals and wonderful people!

Sorry for the long delay, been on the run! Right after coming back on that long drive I had to fly out to Portland for a board meeting. Anyhow, resuming...

Set up day is a lot of fun work! The sense of enjoyment, frustration, excitement all comes out as so many dedicated people put in displays!
