Trip to Gunnison and Bayfield

On Labor Day, 1978,  Bubba, Ady and I started our trip to Bubba's new cabin at Bayfield, where Carroll and Vera had also purchased a cabin with just a meadow separating the two.  I was one of the four new owners of the Taylor Park cabin and Bubba, Vera and Carroll  wanted to pay a sentimental final visit to the cabin that had played such a large roll in their lives and the lives of their families for 25 years.  The weather was perfect and I've never seen more beautiful glimmering and glisting  jack frost  anywhere before or since. 

Upon returning to Bayfield we spent Sunday pickniking on the mountain overlooking  the Vallecito reservoir.  The aspens were quaking and the leaves had turned golden.  Everybody was feeling supercharged and  upbeat, and as usual, Bubba was the catalyst. 

I thought then: "I don't want this scene  to ever end, and If Paradise is like this, I'll take a full measure!"
