Day 95/365

     Day ninety-five's belated post is from the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado. We walked around the main floor and the grounds outside, and just the simple fact of knowing that this was the place Stephen King imagined as the setting for The Shining cast everything we saw in a much more eerie light. It was almost like going back in time; the hotel is maintained to look like the early 1920's time period, and that just adds to its legendary significance as well. I thought converting it to gray scale would add even more to the effect!

Day 94/365

     Today's post is from outside of Fairplay, Colorado. We stopped to admire the sun coming through the clouds in between our multiple stretches of driving through the Rocky Mountains. It was a pretty and uneventful drive, up until about the last two hours. Between a speeding ticket and coming within inches of slamming into an enormous elk while driving up one of the mountains, (which was completely dark since there are no street lights out here), the two of us are especially fried and ready to sleep. We're currently at our motel in Estes Park, Colorado, and will be heading over to the Stanley Hotel tomorrow morning to explore a bit before starting our first day of driving back to Ohio. I'll either update while at a gas station with wifi-access during the day tomorrow, or at whatever motel we stop at for the night. Until then! 

     Also, there's a few new updates to my Flickr page as well!
