My sister Kate and my mother Libby were shopping. I stayed in the car reading. I saw what they bought when they returned. A big dog crate was put in the back seat with me, so I was making sure I could breathe by turning to face the door. My mother had a vacuum cleaner box attached to her face. When we got to Kate's house her husband Jason looked like he was watching a circus. My mother said that wasn't far from the truth.
- Pros:a lot of snow in winter
- Cons:high elevation
- In a nutshell:Yes, it's in a state!

Happy Birthday Drew, hope you are still doing special olympic sports. regards from kiwiland, Pam.
Drew, I heard of that place more than once... I would appreciate the good mountain air....
Good tip to know Drew. Glad your ok!!
Funny how certain places affect some and not others. I was OK in Albuquerque, but hard to breathe in Vail, Colorado...where my husband did fine. Go figure. Did you drive thru the Turquoise Trail and see the sky and the mountains and the ghost towns?
Drew thats a brilliant photo of you and shrek,i bet you had loads of fun there : )
You're right about the altitude, Drew. And, I enjoyed your little vacuum cleaner box story. : ) Take care my friend.
You're right about having trouble breathing at higher elevations....it also happens to me because I live at sea level. I'd love to see a photo of your mom with a vacuum cleaner box on her face!! hahaha Happy New Year Drew!!
