Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, totally worn out, shouting "Wow...What a Ride!"

Another Wednesday




He's the reason we are in CO in October, two years is way too long between visits. Tom and Krystal came out on Tuesday for lunch and a quick visit. Tom has just started taking a few college courses and works 36+ hours at Red Robin so we will see him as much as we can. Of course Fridays dinner will be at Red Robin with our favorite waiter. With my ankle bruised but better bowling was not going to happen. :( 


We've been having some issues with our camera, my brother looked at it and seems a fiber is on the lens, it's not cost effective to even have it fixed so Andy took us camera shopping. We headed to Sam's Club where he is a member and walked out with a Canon Power Shot SX510 HS. We played with it yesterday and my brother will be helping us understand it more this afternoon.



We are enjoying Cheyenne Mountain State Park, it was opened in 2006 has 50+ full hookup sites (only 10 or so are open in the off season)  has spectacular views and 20 miles of hiking\biking trails. We are still getting acclimated to the altitude so we've done a few of the easy short trails near our site.




It's been too cold and windy to sit around a fire but from the warmth of the rv we have the views.



And just in case no one realizes it, guess what day it is!!!

Happy Hump Day

Until next time...

    What a beautiful park! We'll have to remember this for future travels.
    Hope your ankle feels better soon!

      Thanks Steve & Karen, besides turning purple and a little sore to walk on I'm doing okay. We'll be back to this park the next time we are here, which I hope is in warmer weather.

    What a great picture of you three. I am glad to hear that the weather has not been hindering your activities but I know the altitude is a difficulty. Your new camera seems to be doing a fine job. Hope your ankle improves quickly.

    That campsite looks awesome! You struck gold with that one :)
    So glad you were able to spend some time with your son. Absolutely, 2 years is too long.
    Enjoy the new camera and Happy HUMP Day to all :)

      We did strike gold with this one and there are even better sites, I bet during the summer this park stays full. We know we'll be out west for a bit next year (probably with out the rv) because there is a wedding in AZ to go to so with a little luck we'll all get together. Love the new camera, hope you had a happy Hump day.

    In VT we don't have RR so when here we always go, last time our dinner was comped by the manager all we had to pay for was our alcohol. Love seeing the kids it will be hard to leave but knowing they are doing well makes it a bit easier.
