I was also at a fall Fireman School and stayed at The Hotel & Shops. I hope to repeat the experience because I had such a good time, even with the hard work of scooping coal up the 4%. The Hotel & Shops was the perfect place to stay. The location couldn't have been better, the rate was good, the room was just what I needed, and Barbara was the first person I met in Chama.
Normally I would wish folks a happy retirement, but the greedy side of me says that I hope it takes you a long long time. The environment at The Hotel & Shops would be very difficult to replicate.
