A Day Trip To Creed

Wednesday morning we wanted to drive the car down to Creed and  check out where we would be staying…Since we would be staying there for 38 days we wanted just to scout it out…It was just over 100 miles and would take about two and a half hours going through the mountains…We left and the weather was cloudy…I looked on the computer and snow was forecast for Creed…We love mountain driving in the car…The further we went the lower the clouds…Mary Ann said that if it got too bad we would turn around…Well it started to rain and the temp was showing low 40’s and high 30’s…I kept driving and misty rain required intermittent windshield wipers…The traffic was mild and even with the rain it was a beautiful drive…It was still misting rain when we drove into Creed…Mountain View is a beautiful resort sitting in a small valley just South of Creed…We went in and met the manager and was very impressed with the quality of services…We looked at the space we would be living when we arrive next Monday…The Old Fire House Restaurant was recommended as a good place to have lunch…We drove into Creed and had lunch…We we finished and came out of the restaurant the sun was out and the weather felt warm…We took our jackets off and started for Salida…By the way, gas prices in Creed was 2.75…We made it back and Mary Ann didn’t want to fix dinner so she talked me into taking her to the Pizza Hut…Talk to you later…Philip
