Highlander Picture Day

Installing Highlander's new photographs by Richard Hahn of Estes Park became an all day affair!  At least, it required us to be inside all day.  There were many things we could do there, though, so it was a different kind of fun day.  The photos didn't all fit on one wall as we'd planned, but I think we found a suitable solution.  The pictures are awesome: a bear which was caught in the act of charging the photographer, a majestic elk, the often searched for big horn sheep, and twin owls for our own twin owls - he he.   One thing we might need to do is change the glass for non-glare glass.  The reason is obvious in these photos of the photos!  (Molly reports the holes in the wall have been repaired.)


After being inside all day, we decided going out to dinner was in order.  So, we added another first!  We went to The Rock Inn which had been recommended by a long time Y family.  It is just down the road from the Y and Dunraven and has been there as long as we can remember.  Our first memory of The Rock Inn was as a bar but its use has changed several times over the years.  We went there once  when it was a "cook your own steak" place.  Now, it's a laid back full service steak place with live music every Friday night.  Our food was really good!
