Wayne and Vicki's nomination

Vicki came up with this idea Thursday. Before Alabama, the Watterson Reunion was held at her cousin's vacation home in the Colorado Mountains. Kyle's family went with us to Granby Colorado. The gorgeous mountains astounded us and so did Russ Watterson's gorgeous resort home on a pine covered mountain overlooking alpine valleys. The house is large you would probably call it a lodge. Vern and Georgia have been there many times. Vern believes there are at least five bedrooms with multiple beds, each with a bath and a washer/dryer. It has it's own Jacuzzi and multiple large TV’s. It's constructed of logs with a high vaulted ceiling. The living/family room is huge and has very high windows overlooking mountains, valleys etc. There are game areas outside. Travel miles from: SLC 410 miles, Phoenix 816 miles and Denver 93 miles.

Some of the fun activities are rafting, fishing, boating, (3 lakes in area), canoeing, jeep tours, horse back riding, ATV rental and 10 minutes from hot-sulphur springs with pools and spa's. Grandy is a good size town with many restaurants, hotels and very good shopping.

Price: The house cost will be small and Wayne and Vicki will handle it. This way we can spend our money on activities and travel. Meals can be cooked in the Lodge, or we can eat out at any of the many restaurants surrounding our activities.
