Rancho Relaxo

The fine art of white trashin', deep fryin', and slow smokin'

Dearest Members of the Padre Rebellion / Durango Road Warriors,

We're excited to have each and everyone of you. We would have liked to invite even more, but there are some space limitations. Here are some notable items:

We're not going to sit around and whine about how careful you're being with Grandma's china. Just use the stupid drink coasters and don't yak on anything.

Durango Mountain Resort (previously Purgatory) is the resort right up the hill from us. If you don't care for skiing, I've come up with alternative solutions. There's snowmobiling that runs about $75 per person. We can get seats on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge for a reasonable rate. There is also our fascinating hottub that goes for $0 per person. And for those guys and gals who like to play the game where no one keeps score but everyone knows who wins, look at that table.

Our land backs up to the national forest. So in essence, we have 25 million acres to play on. We have several pair of snowshoes for hiking in the back country. At night, we have a couple of bars close and a couple of bars in Durango. Mrs. Drumbarton digs this bar with comfy seats and no smoke, called 'The Office'. It's cool.

For junk you need to bring, Reed and Cat need to bring that game 'Catch Phrase'. Obviously, you need to bring warm clothes (gloves, hat, scarf). Try to layer a lot. Bring a bathing suit for the hottub.  A good pair of snow boots/hiking boots is needed. Bring your favorite CDs, because we have a good stereo. You can rent Ski gear if you prefer, or bring your own.

                                    Lovingly,

                                    Choate Bergstrom & Ann Drumbarton
