BCforum's face to face 2000


Over the weekend of July 28-July 30, 2000, members of bcforum met for their fourth annual face to face!

Lynn found the perfect place in Winter Park, Colorado!

This face to face, none of us even bothered to coordinate arrival times because none of us knew when we'd get to Colorado! We all planned to arrive Friday afternoon, but between those who drove, those who were flying standby and those hoping to volunteer to stay off a plane .....

Lynn picked me up at the airport and we headed for the mountains.

"Wow, I said, these mountains are gorgeous and those rocks are fabulous!"

"Maybe that's why we call them the Rockies!" said Lynn.

Her cell phone rang, it was Dee and Bill who were driving in from Texas, amazingly we were going to arrive in Winter Park about the same time.

We beat them there by a few minutes, which was nice since we were the ones with the key.

We emptied the cars and huffed and puffed up the high altitude stairs.

In the late afternoon, we wondered if Cheryl and her friend Susan T. had landed in Denver only to find out they had left the appropriate phone numbers and directions on one of their kitchen counters. We knew Cheryl's last name and she was from Georgia, that was it!

Fortunately we didn't have to debate what to do too long and soon they huffed and puffed up the stairs luggageless as they were sleeping on the first floor and the main part of the house was on the second floor.

Bill grilled up Lynn's wonderful lemon chicken to perfection and we spent the rest of the day doing what we do best,

chatting ...

In the morning the table was set with the first of Bill and Justin's wonderful breakfasts.

In the afternoon we did something we had never done before - planned for our next face to face!

That night we went to a rodeo, apparently the first rodeo was held in Colorado.

Much too soon it was time to pack up and leave ...

We posed for a group picture


Dee, Cheryl, Susan F., Susan T., Lynn

and chatted until the last minute.

Lynn not only found a perfect place, it was a perfect weekend!
