where did june go?

this is where june went...

it was lost among all these tents and bikers... but we did manage to find some of june here...

Bluegrass weekend had camp chaos living up to it's name with 5 monsters and 5 people and 5 days full of music and sunshine.

The recap of june goes like this... 3000 people for one event with 36 hours of work in two days, 12,000 people for bluegrass and 5 days of music, 2000 bikers with more then 900 questions on where to eat lunch and what to do in telluride.

We still have another week of june to make it through with one camp chaos move to it's new location. I'm expecting to climb about 200 flights of stairs before the process is finished.

bike events...

Last week Chaos and I snuck out on a hike with Mako and Sandy to Bear Creek Falls. Chaos is such a poser but sure is cute! I'm glad we went as this week has been very stressful.

we had the first of 2 large bike events hit town this week and it was exhausting. I worked from 7am on Monday until 7pm on Tuesday with only a 4 hour nap in there. Chaos, Dave and I did overnight bike security and it was exhausting. Chaos is a great guard dog and let us know about any noises. It was a large endeavor that included everything from setting up a 26' stage to organizing volunteers to cleaning it all up. 2000 cyclists and 1000 more people traveling with them...

Less then 24 hours later the influx of the bluegrass crowds are hitting town. I had hoped to take these next few days easy but it's not meant to be.

More photos eventually.... it's hard to get pics when you work more then you play...
Camp Chaos is transforming for bluegrass as well. We'll become home to 5 dogs and 5 people this weekend. Chaos is ready for all his friends to hit town and for the dog festival to begin.

Game on...

The gondola is spinning again and with it the tourists and their questions! As i am now working closer with them I have learned a lot more about the questions they ask and why they travel. I met a young couple setting out on a 90 day adventure and a couple in retirement on a 3 week journey. It is fun but makes for a long day which doesn't end @ 5pm... I'll see them after and still be the info source. It makes me love my weekend carhartts even more! Chaos came to play telluride guru on Monday and even he was tired by the end of the day! It's hard work being the cute token telluride dog!
