The ski resort of Breckenridge, Colorado, is
located about 90 miles west of Denver and 10 miles south of I-70 on
Colorado State Road 9. In this picture you can see the ski runs
cut into the mountain slopes at the edge of town.

Downtown Breckenridge's collection of
restaurants and souvenir shops is within walking distance of many hotel
rooms and condominiums. The Blue River winds through the downtown
area.

Judy and I found a narrow one-lane dirt road to
explore the mountains. The road winds 43 miles from Breckenridge
to Como, following the path of the Denver, South Fork and Pacific
narrow-gauge railroad which served the area from 1881 through 1938.

The railway crossed Boreas Pass in it's route
from Denver through Breckenridge. The railroad's construction must
have been quite an engineering feat in the late 1800's.

We stayed in beautifully landscaped Tiger Run
RV Park and Campground in Breckenridge.

The sign posted alongside Bubba's BBQ
Restaurant and Bar reads "No Pets Allowed on Deck". It
makes you think twice about ordering the "Blue Plate BBQ
Special". We kept Sasha safely away from Bubba's deck!!
