Reports from around Colorado indicate that many folks headed to what is called the “high country” to celebrate the holiday weekend. High country to those along the Front Range means the elevation of Buena Vista, 8,000 feet. For me, in Buena Vista, the high country is above 11,000 feet. At any rate, the town was packed with campers, hikers, fisherfolk and those who just wanted to enjoy a small Colorado Mountain town. The motels were full, there were lines at the restaurants, the fireworks were enjoyed, the parade was long, the quilt show was a success…all to say that Coloradans love their mountains and mountain communities. Many of us grumble when it takes more than 30 seconds to make a left-hand turn…but on mornings such as this, we realize how popular our part of the country is and how fortunate we are to live here. If you would like to join us, I’d be happy to assist you!

Not all of the traffic was on the roads…Central Colorado Regional Airport is a popular portal into our area…and it was busy with locals, second-home folks and transients. If you fly, give it a try.

Traffic big and small
