As befits a lazy Sunday, here’s a photo from the DP archives with the following caption: “Smoothie Hancock and Happy Ryan, both of Durango, take a breather from the rigors of the road at a scenic overlook off Colorado 36 near Boulder on April 24, 1981. The pair’s future plans were uncertain — spring skiing at Arapahoe Basin and a possible side trip to Lake Powell. But for the moment, a panoramic vantage point from the roof of their bus, Bertha, was satisfying enough.”
You may think you’re cool, but you’ll never be even half as cool
as a couple of ski bums named Smoothie and Happy.
Plus a bus named Bertha.
How cool is that, eh?

Lake Meade? Lake Powell?
I always get those 2 mixed up.
