  VAIL VALLEY DAILY PHOTO:  HAPPY HOLLOWEEN! The Vail Valley get's into the mood just about as much as anywhere else and Holloween is a big time for all ages.  I found this example adorning my favorite settler's cabin located just a few blocks from my house.  This old place, obviously built in a ...
