June 3, 2014 Day two at Buena Vista Colorado

 Sunset last evening was very pretty in the mountains.

 The mountains in the background are fantastic.

 Eddyline brewery had two operations. One was the tap room that we visited first.

 

 The second location was a restaurant. Becky and I both had a quinoa dish and it was very tasty

 We are at elevation 8000 feet and the mountains around Buena Vista are 14000 feet. This causes the wind to blow in the afternoon.

 Another nice view of the mountains behind the new section of town.

 And another

 This is the best outside furniture I have ever seen. It was all ceramic tile, even the rug.

 Two old people relaxing.

 The Arkansas river starts up from Buena Vista. It is the river rafting capital of the world, so they say.

 

 Nice trail next to the river and a bridge that we can watch some kayakers play with the rapids.

 The river is really moving.

 There are many river rafting companies. Here is one group going by

Another group that went by us as we sat on nice firm tundra. Tomorrow we will travel to Colorado Springs. Our last stop in the true west.
