The day of anticipation is almost over. We flew from San Jose, CA to Denver rented a car at Fox Rentals (I do not recommend Fox) and took a four our drive to Crested Butte, CO. We took 70 to 285 and drove through the mountains and it is S T U N N I N G.As we wound our way through forest after forest we came upon a point after driving along the edge of 285 a few miles before Jefferson, Colorado, where suddenly the entire valley opens up in front of you. The beauty and expanse of the valley and plains is kind of life changing and magical.
We're staying at the Lodge at Mountaineer Square (highly recommended)and are taking in the beauty of this little village and the town of Crested Butte. We don't have any idea what films will be playing at Telluride as they don't pre-announce what will be shown or who the tributes will be to, it's all pretty secret and it's one of the things that makes this festival so special. It's quite exciting.
Tomorrow we'll drive from Crested Butte to Telluride (3 hrs) and begin our journey. It's thrilling time with little or no interruption from the day job. More to come.
