Our short drive through Big Thompson Canyon had two purposes; (1) To determine the status of the cherry industry that an old friend(in both senses) Gary Todd experienced on multiple trips with his family as a child and (2) to visit to Benson Sculpture Garden.
Well - first things first. Gary, there is good news and bad news. First, the bad news, the main cherry industry has moved to the west slopes of the Rockies where it is wetter. The good news in that The Colorado Cherry Co. is “holding down the fort” near Loveland in Big Thompson Canyon. Proof offered by these pics. Your own bottle of bing cherry cider is safely stowed and will arrive with “yours truly” the 1st of Sept. so wash those tiny little wine glasses.
Now for the surprise of the day – the Benson Sculpture Garden was a major treat. Words cannot do justice, so here are a couple of pics
