Show me your snow!

Thanks Deborajen.

That statue is beautiful, isn't it? A woman gazing over the sea... I've seen it many times, and I had to find the story behind it. It's "a memorial at Hampton Beach to all New Hampshire sons and daughters lost or buried at sea during World War II", story at http://www.hampton.lib.nh.us/hampton...al/thelady.htm.

No snow here today, and I'm hoping that your Kansas snow doesn't decide to come visit us too! Too much snow this year already...

Where are you in Kansas? I rolled across your state (from Pittsburg to Tribune, to give you a general idea of where I was) on my cross-country ride back in 2002. I remember some very hot days, and some very nice people.

Very beautiful statue, Denise, and quite a story behind it. I would have assumed there were more such memorials.

We're in Wichita. You probably passed not too far from us, but most people usually bike around Wichita - like most cities, I assume. Our weather usually does leave an impression. Between the heat, wind and storms in the summer, it can be quite memorable. The people are great, though, especially in the small towns.

If the storm gets to your neck of the woods, at least it's a fast mover. We were dry this morning and the sun was peeking through again an hour ago.

Kathi - is that Lake Dillon? And in the middle picture, Swan Mtn. Road going up from Farmer's Korner?

[Kathi]

Yes, it's Lake Dillon. The highway in the middle picture is US 6 (Loveland Pass Rd) going towards Keystone. Not sure if its visible in the picture but we can see Dillon Dam road.
I believe it's in the first picture, you see a cut in the valley. That's I-70 coming down from Eisenhower Tunnel. Our condo is in Wildernest, above the outlet malls at Silverthorne.

Did you know the Lowrey section of the Swan Mtn. path is now open? You miss 2.2 miles of Swan Mtn road.

Ahhhh! Now I know what I am looking at. I did not know the path was open on Swan Mtn. Road - yay! I HATE that road - way too much traffic. Where does the path dump back onto the road?

I try to avoid the outlets when I am out there -except for PI and Coldwater Creek

Thanks for the pictures - wish I was there!!
