Last night, in brief: mountains mountains mountains, runoff waterfalls and rivulets and large areas where the snow hadn't yet melted. Deserted ski resorts with ghost runs. Cryptic shadows looming in the night, reminding one that one is at the bottom of a valley even when the cloud-dark is almost complete. It's 40 dollars a night for two to stay at the El Palomino hotel, and every room has a touch tone telephone. Grand Junction reminded me of a small place called Summerside; the Village Inn contained about equal proportions of townies, farmers, and city folk, and the waitress couldn't finish a sentence without "honey" or "dear".
