Hey neat Doug. Having lived in Colorado 19 years it's right up there at the
top of my favorite places list. Yeah Ouray is pretty cool. I never made it
to Telluride.
Did you go by Mesa Verde when you were there? I was going to use a Mesa
Verde pic for the architecture PUG, but the negatives are still packed.
Sounds like a wonderful trip.
The list has been practically dead. I hope that means everyone's out there
taking pictures and keeping the real film industry alive.

through the pile of messages waiting for me. I'm think I'm pretty much
caught up with list maintenance stuff, but most of what has been posted to
the list in my absence has escaped my attention. If there's anything there I
need to see, please point it out to me and I'll address it as best I can.

Telluride is more fun than the road from Rigdeway to Ouray. The road from
Ouray to Telluride must be a blast.

> While my wife was meeting some people in Boulder, my little boy and I
drove down to Englewood to visit the Pentax USA HQ. We were greeted and
shown around by a very nice guy from the marketing department. Everyone
seemed relatively normal and not the least bit surprised to be introduced to
some scruffy sunburned geek and his offspring. Must happen a lot.

> Anyway, one of the places we got to visit was "The Cage," where they keep
all of the gear that goes to trade shows. It's difficult to describe what it
was like in there, but I guess the closest I could get would be that it
looked much like what one room of my house would be if I ever won the
lottery. Dozens of cameras, lenses, tripods, cases, bags, boxes. Oh, boy.

which point I will begin editing with an eye toward integrating some of them
into my Grandfather Mountain show. Just think, some of you have the
opportunity to travel great distances to see the slides from My Trip Out
West.
