Upper Colorado River May 7, 2011

Colorado River from private land bordering Rocky Mountain National Park, near Grand Lake Colorado. Allow room in your life for time in the country, time with nature, slow, relaxed and unstructured. Whether you do so as a child or in your later years, you'll return often to the pool of memories accumulated from having nature up close and all around. We were reminded of this recently while traveling through Missouri and turning off into Marceline, Walt Disney's boyhood home. He was there from ages 4 to 8, and yet in his words "more things of importance happened to me in Marceline than ever happened since ..." We saw Walt's dreaming tree, the wild pond, and a replica of the barn his father built. The countryside looks deceiving simple, yet when you linger on its details, the magic comes. After you have absorbed the country air around Grand Lake and feel it's time to meet some people, you can take the short drive to Grand Lake's main street and experience a village which is as Walt would have hoped for himself.
