We are Wanderers... Some people live their lives deliberately going from place to place. We too spend our work days doing that. But it seems that the best moments in life often happen by chance, unexpected and unplanned.

In this blog, we will try to capture the wonder we have felt when we happened upon the scenes shared here. Beauty and interest are truly where you find them. "Vagando" is the Spanish word for wandering and beautifully captures the feeling of freedom and ease we experience in our mini adventures. We hope you enjoy viewing these images as much as we have enjoyed finding them.

Not all those who wander are lost... J.R.R. Tolkien

Gateway Getaway Part II

Leaving Gateway headed south you encounter an entirely different landscape.  Large granite mountains are replaced with towering sandstone canyons.  With motorcycle and classic car club drivers for company, each turn in the road provides wonderful new picture perfect vistas.

Hanging Flume
The hanging flume was an engineering marvel in the late 1800's.  Designed to carry water to the placer gold mining operations some six miles from its source, the project was never fully completed.  It is still a marvel to contemplate from high above the Dolores River.
