Quick trip to Ridgway, 2/4-2/5

Wednesday morning we left Alamosa and headed 4 hours northwest (mainly west) to Ridgway--a town of 800 40 mins. south of Montrose.  It was a gorgeous drive over the mountains, with bright blue skies and sunshine.
Blue Mesa Lake is absolutely stunning.  I'd seen it once before, in the summertime.  Winter is just as magnificent!
We stayed at the Kriegshausers' house (Rebecca's good friends from Virginia), but also got to hang out with Ben and Rosie Cubbage, who moved to Ridgway in November.  It was so refreshing and encouraging to be around old friends again!!

Good times were had by all!

Ben and Rosie live in this super-cool yurt!
It has no electricity or plumbing (it's heated by a wood stove and propane space heater), but they LOVE it! They're so adventurous!! :)
