August 19, 2021 / Rex / 0 Comments

I saved this until we started traveling again:) Besides just sightseeing and traveling we’ve been tracking down National Monuments for Mary’s Passport Book, since we left Oregon. July 17, 2021 Lamar CO elevation 3666 , it sure was HOT today. We pulled out of Sundance High Plains RV Park in Lamar Colorado this morning around …

The Plains of Colorado

July 17, 2021 / Rex / 0 Comments

July 16 2021 After the rain last night we packed up and were on the road around 7:45 this morning. We’re leaving the mostly comfortable days and nights of the last few days behind and heading east and down in elevation as we make our way back towards Southern Indiana and Floyds Knobs. Wasn’t much …

Royal Gorge or Royal Gouge

July 17, 2021 / Rex / 0 Comments

July 15 2021 On the spur of the moment we took off this morning, a little after 10:00, headed for Royal GorgeBridge & Park, it was a little further than I really wanted to drive at around 70 miles away, especially leaving that late, but it was either that or to listen to Mary grumble …

Tourist Traps

July 16, 2021 / Rex / 0 Comments

July 14, 2021 We’re near Colorado Springs and there are several interesting things to do in the area, unfortunately, from my point of view they are mostly tourist traps. We did go to the Manitou Cliff Dwellings & Museum this morning. Unknowing the price, it wasn’t to unreasonable but we were only there for probably …

UP UP and UP

July 15, 2021 / Rex / 2 Comments

July 12 2021 Elevation 6790 We moved all of 33 miles today, we couldn’t check in until after 1:00 so we just hung out and read until about 12:30 before we got ready to move. I’m not sure how we managed it and I’m not complaining. When we called to make reservations, for 3 nights, …

And they all run

July 12, 2021 / Rex / 2 Comments

July 10, 2021 Elevation 6344 After moving 216 miles this morning, pretty much due south, we arrived here in Kiowa Colorado about 12:30. It was an interesting drive, as the miles rolled by, many on smaller 2 lane roads, the landscape changed from large rolling hills to larger flat fields. ALSO, happily, we have moved …

We’ve moved

November 11, 2018 / Rex / 0 Comments

11/9/2018 Elevation 4292 We decided to leave Sleeping Ute Mountain Casino and RV park a day early. As mentioned in an earlier post the temperature kept dropping and dropping, 16 or lower last night which is not to bad considering they predicted 10. Needing to get propane had a lot to do with the decision …

That could have been disappointing

November 7, 2018 / Rex / 2 Comments

11/6/2018 We hiked the Petroglyph trail in Mesa Verde today. It was an exceptionally nice day for a hike. Bright sunshine and little wind. So anyway, the hike ended up being 4.4 miles and had seeing the Petroglyphs been our only reason for the hike we would have really been disappointed. It was a long …

IMPORTANT note to self!

November 5, 2018 / Rex / 2 Comments

11/4/2018 I was going to call this, I can see for miles and miles, because when we entered the park the views were spectacular. However the deeper into the park we got the more my stomach started growling. Before we left home we discussed making sandwiches to take with us. Other topics and problems came …

WAIT, what direction did I just drive?

November 5, 2018 / Rex / 0 Comments

11/3/2018 Elevation 5678 I can’t believe I just did that, it’s totally the WRONG direction…….. north! Yup  I just drove about 120 mile north. From Gallup it’s not all that far to the 4 corners area. While the 4 corners monument was very high on my list of things to see I was underwhelmed and …
