Fort Collins to Seattle
Well we are finally back in Seattle for a while. We left Fort Collins in the snow taking the road less traveled to Steamboat Springs. In fact it was so less traveled we didn’t see another car heading the same direction as us for over 130 miles. The road followed a river of ice along a gorge the over two 10,000ft passes, ice and packed snow slowed us down so we could enjoy the scenery and the wildlife. We encountered a herd of big horned sheep in the middle of the road, licking the salt, they moved only far enough for us to pass and immediately went back to licking the salty ice. Our second wildlife encounter was an eight legged moose also snacking on the salty ice. We reached Steamboat Springs safely , surprisingly quiet with very few people shopping or skiing this was the prefect time to visit. No skiing for us but we take the gondola up Mt Werner for a lovely view. Traveling on to Seattle the road was clear but patches of dense fog slowed us down and we finally arrived yesterday morning. Looks like we will be here for now looking for work and celebrating the season with friends.

Love the hat Kris. Wouldn’t go down well here at the moment though, we had 40 celcius today (104 in your money). Kids say Merry Xmas Auntie Kristina & Uncle Joe !

Hey Kristina and Joe,
Checked out the last couple of pages of your blog today to see where you were and enjoy your photos. Hope you are having a grand time in Seattle.
Life in Ottawa is going wonderfully. Happy, loving college, and the winter. Porter is here, getting older and creakier, but for the most part, doing well.
Sending love to you both,
Patrice
