I watched an interesting show one day this past weekend about the Coors family. I didn't know any of the history behind them. Tragedy seemed to follow them for a while.

Adoph II committed suicide by jumping from a hotel window and Adoph III was kidnapped and murdered.

My dad worked at the Coors plant (then still small enough to be called "a brewery" and nothing more) throughout his student years at Colorado School of Mines.

Oh, dear. You're playing a game, and Dan and I are messing it up. He's listing everyplace he's ever been, and I'm reminiscing.

Sorry.

How did you get to Silverton without going through Ouray or Durango?

I loved Hovenweep the first time I was there. I bet it's all changed now, and has a visitor center and all kinds of stuff.

I bet you got some fabu pics.
