NW Okie's Corner

With just one week into October, 2005, we find ourselves packing the pugs into the pickup -- filling up with gas at $2.95 per gallon at the Conoco in Bayfield, Colorado -- heading east towards Wolf Creek Pass. What we had in mind was to capture a few of Autumns color changes here in SW Colorado

Last Sunday we ventured against a herd of sheep and sheep herders to Vallecito to spend the day in the mountains with friends and view those Vallecito Fall changes taking place. We need to take an adventure on the "million dollar highway" towards Molas Pass and Silverton, also. Don't you just love this time of year with the Gold in the Rockies popping up everywhere!

We heard from some Oklahomans that things cooled off considerably this week, dropping the temps some 20 degrees. AND... just around the corner (Oct. 13 thru 15, 2005) is the Castle on the Hill (NWOSU) & Rangers Annual Homecoming with a parade, football game and Cinderella pageant. This NW Okie will not be in NW Oklahoma this year, but hoping someone out there will take some digital photos to share with us in the next few issues. Go Rangers & Class of '71!   |  View or Add Comments (1 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
