Golf and Oktoberfest! What a great combination. We met Dave and Ellen at the Glenwood Springs Golf Course and worked our way through that beautiful course. So many trees and the red mountain backdrop.
There was a pear tree at the first tee that was dropping all of its fruit. We all took a pear to eat and some to take home. A young deer wandered up to sample some, too. Yum!
After golf, we stopped at the Farmers Market and bought a box of Palisade peaches. Looking forward to a peach pie made by my Mom, who makes the best crust ever!
On to Oktoberfest in Snowmass. Loved the bratwurst, saurkraut and potato lunch while listening to an Oom-pa-pa band. Later the German folk dancers performed. We learned that the tassels on their hats cannot be touched as they want no oil on them. The tassels are from mountain goat beards and are very hard to come by. We saw two; one cost $500 and the other $1000.
Moving on down Snowmass Mall, we found free ATV rides being offered by Harley Davidson. We had so much fun driving around their little course. All of us like the RZR, a dune buggy type machine. Very, very fun.
Next we took the gondola down to an area where they were staging a 12 hour bike race. More hardy souls!
Dinner was Takeh Sushi in Aspen. Great sushi. Loved it. In bed early so we can get up bright and early for our 7:00 am departure.
