Longtime locals Peer Bjornstad, a native of Norway, and wife Nancy, just got back from their annual Mexico fall excursion aboard their 34-foot CHB trawler, “Guppy,” in the Sea of Cortez. They get down to Guaymas and San Carlos for a month in the spring and fall.
Making the trip this time were daughter Kari and husband Joe Marco of Fairplay, Lisa and husband Joel Stahlecker of Buena Vista, and Erik Bjornstad and wife Linda.
Capt. Peer, pictured here with a Sierra and a Dorado, came to Breckenridge in 1953 from Olso.

Independent filmmaker Patti Divita was back on The Summit not long ago. She had been to New Zealand and just loved the place.

The film also features music by local favorites Nancy Cook and Leon “The Chief” Littlebird.
