Colorado through Labor Day

The 2 weeks spent in CO (end of August thru Labor Day) went by so fast, it is unbelievable. We were parked at Wendy and Troy's house in Golden, Co., elevation around 8800 feet. The weather at first was questionable as we had snow hitting the windshield --only a sleet type snow for a couple of minutes. We did see snow on the mountain tops of Long Peak and Mt Evans and on the local news we saw that on Interstate 70 around the Eisenhower tunnel and Vail pass there was enough snow that the road crews had to do some plowing at the higher elevations.

We went out in the woods with Wendy and Troy with their Jeep, checked out the local area trails.

We did some hiking in the Golden Gate Canyon state park about a four mile hike.

Had to do the Coors brewery tour and get a couple of samples.

Troy's mother Elaine and father Larry were visiting as well for 4 or 5 days. Had a great time with them. Today we left Wendy's and headed to Loveland, Co to the RV America dealership to have some adjustment made to the new refrigerator that was installed out here. The dealership was great for service and friendliness. Even though they did not sell us our motorhome, they took care of the warranty service that was set up by our dealer in NH. We lucked out with Tiffin Motorhomes. After having the servicing done we headed north towards Wyoming. We stopped for the night at a state rest area along Interstate 25 in Guernsey, Wy. Beautiful sunset over the mountains, weather is beautiful, suppose to be around 40 in the morning. We are heading to South Dakota to see Mt Rushmore then travel west towards Yellowstone National Park by the weekend to spend maybe 4 -5 days there, then back to Santa Cruz, Ca to see the grandsons play Pop Warner football and Peyton our granddaughter to play soccer.
