Cabin Report

Getting away for the weekend up in the Rocky
Mountians was just what we needed. We stayed at
a place called, "Annie's Mountain Retreat"
(Here's the link if you want to check out the
inside of the cabin. I was a "space cadet" and forgot
my camera so we came back up the next day and
took pictures of all the snow that fell the night before.)

Long's Peak on the right. The Native Americans use to call
it "Beaver Mountain" because it looks like a beaver
climbing up the left side.

Anyway, that was our little retreat up into the mountains.
I hope you all enjoyed this little film show.
