Someone Had To Do It


At work, there are parts of my job I really do not like. Such as being locked in one meeting room after another, studying budget sheets, and dealing with problems that well – are not my problems. But, it goes with the territory.

Last week I HAD to travel around the state and meet with many of our district people and community leaders. It’s a tough job but someone has to do it. The trip last week was just a little short of 1,000 miles. There were many colorful events including the stretch limo parked at a local Pizza Hut with a sign in the front window that read, “Will drive for food.”

This picture was taken near the Town of Silverton. It’s in the southwestern part of the state. Silverton sits in a high mountain valley between Durango and Ouray and has an elevation of 9,318 feet.

With the exceptions of sleeping in hotels and being away from my wife it was an enjoyable trip. Like I said, someone HAD to do it.

Ralph,
First Cliff "has to" talk to the pretty grain merchandiser. Then Ralph "has to" go traveling all over beautiful Colorado. Life is rough, ain't it?

Have a great Thanksgiving! Take pictures!
