7500 feet up

I have finally arrived at beautiful Alamosa, Colorado! Flying out from the Denver airport was the highlight of the trip, and I'm kicking myself for not taking a picture of the city's lights at night. It was almost like a second starry night underneath us. It was also exciting because I got to fly in a Beechcraft 1900D, 19 Seat Turbo Prop, that looked something like this--

And I can't remember that I've ever flown in something that small. Unfortunately it's quite cloudy right now, and in the first picture (the view from the Kleine-Deters front lawn) you can't see all of the mountain that is there. It is literally breathtaking though, with an elevation difference of around 7000 feet, I've noticed my breathing is not quite what it could be.

Now that I'm here, I'm going to be focusing alot on working out, finishing preparations to go to Korea, and most likely having adventures. Those mountains aren't just for looking, ya know!

P.S. It's quite windy today, and I just saw two lone tumbleweeds mosey across the backdrop of the mountain, with the horse in the neighbors yard looking on. Gotta love the west.
