Exploring the Places No One is Talking About
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope that your day is wonderful and full of good food and happy family. I’m busing baking pumpkin and pecan pies! I feel like I have been cooking of weeks though: my company potluck, Keltin’s company potluck and then prepping for the big meal today. It is worth it though –
After visiting Chimney Rock and lunch at Pagosa Brewing we made our way up to Creede for the rest of the day to explore the little mountain town. Our visit to Creede was similar to that of Silverton. We were there late in the season, there were few tourists, and the days were getting cooler.
