Crested Butte, Colorado - August 2015

And so, onto the next adventure.............................Crested Butte, Colorado with Joyce Sutterer and Judy Delaney. After a non-eventful flight from Cleveland to Denver, we picked up the Avis rental car which we were expecting to cost beaucoup bucks. Luckily, Joyce noticed a sign on the wall that said that Preferred Account Members received an upgrade to a 6-cylinder car for free. Throwing out her husband's name, we waited for the Customer Service Representative to do her magic - voila, it worked! Not only did we get an upgrade but also a massive discount. What we were expecting to be an expensive rental turned out to be a real steal. We were on our way to Crested Butte.
The drive was busy until we left the Denver Metropolitan area and began to climb into the rarefied mountain air. Our stomachs began to growl after a couple of hours and, as luck would have it, we spotted The Hungry Moose Caboose.
