Took a picture of Kansas on the road-scenic. Just kidding but it does make a good comparison to the Plains are of Texas just longer and greener. We got an early start today in record tear down time. Awoke at 8:05 and were on the road at 8:40am. We made it to Merriam, KS at …
Today we head out to Oakley, KS for a stopover trip on the way to KC. Things are not starting out like we hoped. Apparently, there is an issue with the sites septic system and when I opened my black tank last night, it would not drain into the the septic tank. I shut off …
We left this morning about 10:30 on Leg 9 of your trip which took us to Aurora, CO at Cherry Creek State Park. Very nice park by the lake but the cool mountain temperatures will be missed. 89 right now and probably wont be any lower for the next parts of our trip. We hit …
It has been a couple of days since we posted because it has been pretty much more of the same. Friday we spent most of the afternoon tending to a leaky sink. Had to make a couple of trips into Granby to get what I need but I think we have it resolved. Friday night …
Today we re-explored the Rocky Mountain NP getting up at 5:00am with the intent of arriving at Bear Lake at our reservation time of 6:00am. We saw a ton of wildlife (figuratively and comparatively) on the way there. Although it was pretty dark still, I did manage to capture a couple of shots I was …
Our first full day at the Rocky Mountain National Park and we did a quick 100 mine reconnoiter trip to see what it was all about. We took off about 6:00am and returned 4.5 hours later. Some of the snapshots have been posted on this page. I am planning a sunrise trip sometime this week …
Finally after 2 days, we make it to our fourth National Park stop of our trip. This is after a not so fun trip on I 70 traversing the highest elevation for us to date 10600 feet near Vale Pass. Road construction brought traffic to a stand still for about 20 minutes leaving us with …
Leg 7 is a quick stop in the town of Silt, CO about 45 miles East of Grand Junction on I70. Nice little KOA along the river again and im quite surprised at the price. Usually KOA’s are way overpriced but this has been the cheapest of the Colorado RV spots we’ve stayed. Apparently there …
As planned, we left the Mesa Verde area and headed North this morning on Hwy 145. The drive up was spectacular to say the least. Some RV bloggers recommend the route North through Durango/Silverton on Hwy550 but we found this route to be exceptional. I would like to go through there at some point in …
Today we decided to take a little Friday drive to see some of the area sites. We started out this morning at the crack of 10:30 and made a pitstop at the Burger Boy Drive-in for some breakfast cheeseburgers. After we were sated, we headed out to the Hovenweep National Monument about 41 miles West …
