 November 2008

Karen & Rich Avery, OwnersThanksgiving is one of our favorite holidays.  We are very thankful for the opportunities we have had this year to serve our guests.  We love what we do!  We hope that you and your families are happy and in good health. 

As with every November, the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting colder.  Some hiking trails are still accessible, including many parts of the new Ouray perimeter trail.  It is a fantastic trail with many challenging spots and fantastic views.  Thanks to the Ouray Trail Group for all their efforts to make Ouray such a great outdoor paradise.

We have been working hard to get things in ship shape before winter completely settles in.  Over the past year, we have begun utilizing even more geothermal water to help us conserve energy and are working on even more plans to help us improve.  In October 2008, we used 30% less electricity than we did in October 2007. 

Happy Thanksgiving!  We hope that we will see you soon!

Warm regards,
Karen & Rich Avery
