Ouray 365

As a tourist, while you were enjoying your vacation surroundings, have you ever wondered "What would it be like to live here?" What is it like to live in Ouray all year round? I am often asked that by tourists who marvel at their vacation experience and wonder about life in Ouray and this book answers that question. A book of monthly narratives reveals the social fabric develops from the many the environmental, civic, cultural and artistic threads that weave the experience of living in Ouray all year round. This underlying pattern of that tapestry represents the rhythm of Ouray, 365 days of the year as life goes on all year round. If you are an Ouray visitor, either a past or future one, perhaps my writing will give you new insight. Whether you ever visit Ouray or not, perhaps it will give you a dose of curiosity about the places you do visit. And perhaps, through my writing, you will become acquainted with a beautiful, small, mountain town in Colorado. But most of all, I hope that you gain some understanding of the anatomy and lifeblood of small towns and their operations all the days of the year, for their existence is a testament to the creativity and perseverance of the collective human spirit.
