A Personal Message
Howdy,
Here's WHY we want YOUR Colorado and New Mexico vacations to be great and our directory useful to you.
WE sell advertising to the businesses in our vacation directory. So please mention YOU found THEM in our Colorado and New Mexico Vacation Directory.
Here's HOW we started:
When Hilton and Jenny began their small mom-and-pop business in 1977, their business cards said "Chief Cook" and "Bottle Washer."
Hilton founded our print directory in 1979 and by 1981 he was driving 8,000 miles each summer all over Colorado (with one of their five children) in his RV personally visiting and researching most of the campgrounds, RV parks, cabin resorts, mountain lodges, country bed-and-breakfast inns, and tourist attractions throughout Colorado. In 1988 we began including information on northern New Mexico businesses.
Each spring we print this newly updated information in our free annual edition of The Colorado and New Mexico Vacation Directory.
Hilton and Jenny's oldest daughter, Rebekah, joined the business full-time in 1988. By 1990 when their last child left home, Jenny joined Hilton on these trips as his helpmate while Rebekah ran the office.
Jenny decided to put our directory on the Internet and by May 1997 it was up and running.
In 2000 Kelly became our full-time Webmaster. If our Website is easy for you to find and use, credit Kelly and her staff.
In 2001 Rebekah graduated to President. Thad joined us in 2004, and since then we have added the wonderful people shown above to our staff as Hilton and Jenny are now mostly retired.
Our small family business now feels like an extended family ~ many of our loyal advertisers have been with us for decades, as have you, our readers.
Thank you all. Have a relaxing and fun time as you enjoy vacationing in Colorado and northern New Mexico.
