To those who have managed to contact me since my move to Colorado, thank you. For that one person who keeps checking back on this blog, thank you for not giving up on me. It's been a difficult transition from Syracuse to Crested Butte and even more difficult was the transition from Winter to Summer.

Teaching little kids 3-6 how to ski was a blast and I'm definitely looking forward to doing it again this winter.

I road tripped back to Syracuse to pick up more of my things and to visit friends and family. This road trip was longer than the ride out here because I stopped in Minnesota for my boyfriend, Adam, and then again in West Virginia to drop off my friend, Nick. Meeting their families and having people to ride with made it much more memorable than the solitary non-stop drive out this past November.
<<Quick, picture with the giant bug statue!>>
This summer I worked up at Gothic, specifically the Rocky Mountain Biological Lab which is essentially a field station for biologists and ecologists, professionals, and students. A good number of mountain bikers and tourists ride through as well. I managed the general store. Lots of snacks and t-shirts but no cell reception. There was also a good month when internet was down as well. Talk about a rustic experience!

As I wrap up my job in the middle of fumbuck nowhere, I am increasingly aware of the drawbacks to living in a resort town. Mainly that all things slow and jobs are scarce when the tourists are slow and scarce...well, mainly just scarce, tourists are pretty slow all the time.
