#42 Beloved Buffalo Mt.

PictureADOPTED by STU PERLMETER
I never get tired of gazing across the Blue River Valley upon this beautiful mountain from our home in Silverthorne.  It was named Buffalo Mt. because the shape of it's distinctive hump mimics the famous buffalo that roamed the plains of Colorado.  Buffalo Mt., rises to 12,777 feet and is part of the Eagles Nest Wilderness area and is the beginning of the southern Gore Range.   There are numerous hikings trails that ascend to it's spectacular views of the Ten Mile Range, Gray's Peak and Torries Peak.  Fifteen years ago, almost to the day, my husband and I were awakened by the ringing of our cell phone at dawn.  A sound that usually scares you to death at that hour!  It was my son and his best buddy and partner in crime.  They had gotten up before dawn and had hiked to the top of Buffalo Mt. to watch the sun rise on their graduation from high school day!  They had cell service and wanted to know if we could see them waving to us from the peak.  No...we needed binoculars. What fun that our kids were lucky to grow up in such an amazing place.  What fun that we were lucky to have such wonderful kids in our life!
Today's painting is brought to you by our "old" friend of over 25 years,  Stu Perlmeter.  He has been a regular visitor to our home that he actually helped to dig the foundation for so many years ago!  
Anon and Adieu....
