raising event on Kingston P eak in J uly and a Santiago Mill winterization trip combined with aspen viewing in September. This week’s trip involved 12 J eeps and one Toyota 4-Runner, affectionately called the “ black J eep of the family.” There were 28 adventurers on board and one small dog.
We went up to Georgetown, then up the Guanella P ass for about 2 miles to the Leavenworth Cree oad turnoff. This is where the road becomes 4-wheel drive only. A s could be expected on such a beautiful and warm day, with the aspens in all of their glory, Guanella P ass was a virtual parking lot. A lthough when we turned off onto the dirt the traffic disappeared and we pretty much had the trail to ourselves—a llowing for numerous stops for picture-taking. A s we traveled up Leavenworth Creek to the Santiago Mill, the aspens showed their

by the Central City Opera’s main stage singers. The festival opened on F riday night with a reception at the Monarch Casino Resort and Spa.

I t sits in the A rgentine Mining District, which was formed in 1865. The history of the mines in that area show that it was mainly silver production until the early 1890’s when gold became the primary precious metal being mined. B uildings and structures standing in addition to the Mill include the old blacksmith shop, near the Santiago’s primary adit, and an 1890’s ore bin. F rom about 1890 until the Mill was constructed, a tram carried ore down to the Waldorf Mill. I n 1906 Mr. Edward J . Wilcox built the A rgentine Central Railroad, running from Silver P lume up to Waldorf, and then to the top of Mt McClellan. This is where Sunday tourists could hike just slightly more than a mile over to Grays P eak, and another mile or so to the top of Torreys P eak. They could also visit the I ce House, a mine known to have icicles that never melt, while listening to the music played on the bandstand at about 13,800’ elevation.

The leaves will decompose over winter, adding organic matter to the soil. Still more leaves; add them to the compost pile. Mixing this carbon rich plant debris to greens like plant-based kitchen scraps, manure, and worm castings makes for great compost. Use leaves as mulch on the soil around the base of perennials. They suppress weeds, conserve moisture,

Leaves also provide winter homes and insulation for insects, toads and frogs that overwinter in leaf litter or just below the soil surface. Leave healthy perennials stand for winter.

magician, Schmendrick, and the middle-aged spinster, Molly Grue, while on their que st to discover, with the last unicorn, what happened to all of the other unicorns in the world. t was the re that drew me there and the conversation, and knowing that we were in the middle of an epic adventure. Schmendrick once turned to me and said, “ Great heroes need great sorrows and burdens, or half their greatness goes unnoticed. I t is all part of the fairy tale.” A nd I took those words to heart. I also learned that there was no such thing as a happy ending, because nothing ever ends. A nd I was there in the middle of the night when the spirits of Robin Hood and
his merry men came walking through the camp ( I had one eye open.) A nd then I enjoy an occasional lunch with B ilbo B aggins in his hobbit-hole ( “ and that means comfort”), thanks to the genius of J .R.R. Tolkien. When you’re the guest of B ilbo you might as well be prepared to eat the afternoon away. There are at least seven courses: soup, salad, egg rolls, honey-dipped chicken wings, roast beef, eggplant parmesan, spaghetti and meatballs. P lus at least three desserts: chocolate pudding, banana splits, raspberry cheesecake, to name just a few. A nd then you nap until dinnertime. I f you’re lucky ( or some would say unlucky) the wizard Gandalf might stop by and pull B ilbo into a dangerous adventure,
and you must go along with him. This has happened to me more than once, and to B ilbo at least eleventy-one times. Middle-Earth has its beauty and its perils as well, and sometimes it’s the perils that end beautifully that make visiting there so worthwhile. I ’ve been through the looking-glass with A lice, down the yellow brick road with Dorothy and company, and on the other side of the wardrobe to Narnia and met all of its magical inhabitants. I ’ve been to Neverland and sat among P eter P an and the lost boys while Wendy Darling read us a bedtime story. I ’ve been Out of the Silent P lanet, and F rom the Earth to the Moon, criss-crossed the ages in The Time Machine, and once took A V oyage to A rcturus. I ’ve sat on a bench

soil as it decomposes. P ull mulch away from the trunk of trees and stems of shrubs. P iling mulch over these can lead to rot, decline and early death of the plants. Help your lawn recover from the stresses of summer and prepare for winter with fall fertilization. University research found fall ertili ation is most bene cial for home lawns. F all fertilization encourages deep roots and denser growth that is better able to compete with weeds and tolerate disease and insect pests. A lways sweep grass
clippings and chemicals off walks and drives and back into the lawn where they belong. This simple step keeps unwanted nutrients out of waterways and eventually our drinking water. A dd some spring color by planting daffodils grape hyacinths, tulips, and other spring owering bulbs this fall. I t is also a good time to add trees, shrubs, and perennials to the landscape. The soil is warm and air cool, making it less stressful for plants to adjust to their new home. Mulch new plantings and water thoroughly whenever the top few inches of soil are crumbly and moist. Continue watering new and
existing plantings as needed until the ground freezes. Once the garden is prepared for winter, you can put away the hoses and garden tools, break out the snow shovels and wait for spring to arrive.

in The Magic Garden, and hobnobbed with Winnie the P ooh in the Hundred A cre Wood. I ’ve hiked through Watership Down, and even rowed a boat through the Okefenokee Swamp with P ogo the P ossum and A lbert the A lligator. I ’ve felt The Wind in the Willows with Mole, Rat, Toad, and B adger and met The Little P rince on his tiny home planet where I was pleased to draw him a sheep. When I am feeling down, and think I ’ve never really been anywhere, I remember all the places in the books I read as a kid and kept reading as an adult—a nd how I could travel to any one of them on a moment’s notice, or in a long, technicolor dream in the middle of any given night, and often do. I ’ve got friends
there who are as glad to see me as I am to see them. I t just takes a big imagination, but I was blessed with one. No matter the size of your imagination, though, you can still visit and revisit the places in literature that made you most happy at any age whatsoever. I n fact, the older you get, the more appealing your childhood books become. Call it a second childhood if you will. There’s nothing wrong with it, and so much is good about it. I t’s almost like these favorite books are comfort food for the soul, and you return to them again and again, especially in times of stress and anxiety. “ They’re your spaghetti and meatballs,” as B ilbo B aggins might say.
