I don't claim to be a photographer, but I think you'll get the idea!

I thought it was interesting - the camels marched in the parade through town too!

I was having some camera trouble, so I missed the beginning of this sequence. Still, I think you'll enjoy it.

G'day Y'all,
We're finally back in Oz and recovering from a fabulous trip around Colorado and Texas.
Cheryl and I would like to thank you all for the tremeandous hospitality shown us and how we fitted into the greater Thompson family.
I'm certain to miss someone on the list of those who we'd like to thank personally so if I miss you thank you.
Tom and Mary for organising our accom. etc
Harold and Patsy for their guidance around the mountains and their company.
Fred and Babs especially Babs for her assistance with Cheryl's shopping.
Parker and family for their generous hospitality.
Scott and Karen for allowing us into their lovely home.
Michael and ALL his family for their entertainment and Michael's ability to search out some wonderful Scotch when it's most needed.
By the way I secede. You win the Scotch at ten paces.
Cathy McTavish for her company and last but not least
Boonah for his generosity to take us to the airport. When we got out of his car I'm sure I heard a sigh of relief.
Anyway folks thank you all so much y'all made Estes Park the greatest Gathering we have ever attended.
God Bless
Cheryl and Ern

Dang! I hate always being outdone by the Aussies!

Great post, Ern! All of us who made the trek to Colorado have a similar list ---with the same names (except I'll swap Tom and Mary for enjoying Ern and Cheryl!) There were so many involved in so many ways and IT ALL WORKED!!!

Gosh dang, wish the Moore's could have been with our favorite people!!!    I know it was a blast.

Ern, thanks for the photos. You were one of the highlights of the weekend. We all had such a great time. And I want a rematch on the single malt at ten paces, whenever you're ready. 

[Ernest Thompson]

Michael,
A rematch would be my pleasure we have some very good labels here also.
Get my drift.
Did you happen to notice the photo of Sean in the march past? The background is taken up by an Australian flag.
A good sign of things to come.
G'day to everybody and hope to see y'all in the not too distant future.
Ern
