Ahhh, the weather was worth a million bucks! John and I had a great visit to my family in Colorado this last week. Spent time with my Mom, Judy, and step-dad Bill at the store (it's a working thing during tourist season due to the trading post!), and we also spent some time fishing with my Dad, Keith. We went up on the Dolores (West Fork) river, and were able to fish on Dunton property. Dunton was once a tiny little hot springs 'shack' town when I was just a kid. We would camp up there, cross country ski, and swim in the natural hot springs, which was located in a shack. Now-a-days, the place is owned by a very wealthy foreign family, and they have turned it into a beautiful resort property, restoring everything to 'new' but it still looks 'old'. It's 5 star and then some. It's kept it's rustic charm and it's old feel, even the hot springs. I am grateful that we know the manager very well (family friend) and my Dad helps stock the trout into
