Change of Plans

Had to change up the route just a bit due to snow and ice in mountains of Colorado. Interstate 70 west of Denver was getting heavy snow and ice with chain laws in effect. We decided it would be best to back track south, and then head west. We went back to San Luis Lakes Campground for one night. This place also got snow while we were in Littleton, but not enough to make for hazardous travel. We could tell that there was more snow on the mountain tops in the distance than when we were here ten days ago.

Pretty much had the park to ourselves

Principal’s Letter - November 2007 As I sit here contemplating the topic for this month’s edition of the Dodgen Dateline the first thing that comes to mind is to take inventory of the things for which I am thankful.  It is, after all, that time of year.  First, I am thankful that my list includes items such as a wonderful family, adequate food and shelter, and employment at the best middle school in the United States.  Of course I could go on for many more pages.  I am blessed indeed.  How about instead, I share some things from my list that I am sure you would not have guessed?  The baseball that has scrawled on it the words “I love you very much,” comes to mind.  The words were writ...
