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 …

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 …

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.

UP UP and UP

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 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 …
