September Snowmass Balloon Festival

The 44th Annual Snowmass Balloon Festival, a long-standing Rocky Mountain tradition, fills the sky with eclectic balloons, as 30 pilots launch their hot air balloons into the air, daily at 7:00am in Snowmass Town Park. The weekend features three days of festive balloons, pilot games, food trucks and vendors, kid activities, and more. On Friday, September 6, the Glow Show provides an up-close-and-personal experience to these mega balloons. Guests can chat with the balloon pilots, enjoy food & drinks from vendors, and watch as the balloons light up the sky in Snowmass Town Park.

It's amazing the treasures one finds when one slow

It's amazing the treasures one finds when one slows down to take an old pup out for daily slow walks. Having been up in Aspen for 5 years, I forgot about this old Fairview Cemetery that Loki guided me to where I discovered Merino Bruno Fiou, AKA “Mr. Basalt”, born July 29, 1940 in Glenwood Springs and died March 6, 2011 at Valley View Hospital.

This from the Aspen Times: A constant staple of the Town of Basalt, Merino was always on the search for a treasure that few of us cherished. He had a love of hats and was always seen wearing a different one. He walked many miles each day back and forth into town.

Many local merchants of different stores knew him by name. Merino was very proud of his money jar that he accumulated by turning in his aluminum cans that he collected. Merino had many jobs throughout the years including trash pickup and working at Two Rivers Cafe washing dishes. He liked to help out wherever needed, even volunteering when they built the playground. Merino was very fond of River Days and loved to listen to the music in town. With a constant smile on his face, he was very friendly and never knew a stranger. Merino loved the annual yard sale at his house, looked forward to sifting through all the stuff, he found a treasure in things that other people threw out.

Did anyone know Merino?

“And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.” ~ John Muir

To fully immerse oneself in the colors there is no better way then to view it from above and then get in it for hours at a time. Mountain biking on trails covered in fallen golden leaves, with a canopy of gold above, heart pumping, body moving full tilt, the mind subsides, and the senses guide allowing the subconscious mind to be present without judgement, that is when I feel part of something bigger and that is when the magic begins. ~ @jilliansreallife
