Robert and I have been in storms, since we both grew up in tornado alley, but the wind we’ve experienced for the past couple of weeks here at the foothills west of Denver is RIDICULOUS!! Gusts up to 70 miles per hour a couple of weeks ago, 50 miles per hour today! Yesterday, we moved …
Elk Taking a Rest
Today we decided to take a drive through Rocky Mountain National Park. Most of the park was closed due to snow, but we were able to have a nice drive anyway. Just as I said, “I wish we would see some wildlife,” we looked off to our left and wouldn’t you know it, a large herd …
Royal Gorge, Colorado
We have been in Colorado for two weeks now and have called St. Vrain State Park our home during that time. It’s been a very busy two weeks as I had to put in very long hours at the office I manage in Louisville. Since CO State Parks only allow 14 consecutive days of camping, …
Road Trip to Colorado
It was Thursday morning and we needed to hit the road. We really weren’t too anxious as we hadn’t even really started securing things down to have an early departure. The weather forcast was calling for heavy rain in KS and snow in Denver. We studied the map and weather predictions and decided to take …
Curtain Barrier
Last summer, when we were traveling from CO back to FL, in the extreme heat, Robert and I were discussing that we should put some sort of curtain to separate the cab from the rest of the coach to try to keep the cool air up front while we traveled. We not only used the …
Change In Plans
We have been in Missouri for the month of January for a well overdue visit with family and friends. The time seemed short and very busy. Between work and our visiting schedule, it seemed as though we didn’t have a moment to breath. Whether we would stay for a week or a month, it seems …
Getting to Missouri
The time finally came to travel to Missouri for the month of January. We had been planning this trip for three or four months and we were anxious to get on the road for a change of scenery. Although we had sold a ton of stuff at our garage sale back in September when we moved …
Time to go to Missouri
The time has finally come and we were off to Missouri. We had been planning this trip for the past three or four months. After we had downsized and moved out of our rental house, we still had some things that that we didn’t feel we could part with yet, so we rented a storage …
Beautiful Sunrise
This morning we woke up to see a beautiful sunrise, too bad the city is in the way. Decided to take a couple of shots because in a blink the colors were gone.
We can’t wait to be somewhere to see the sunrises unobstructed by city. Soon…
Christmas Light Display
Wow…St. Pete has a house that could outshine the Griswalds. Our friend Pug Baker told Robert about the house, so we decided to visit it last night. The homeowners started a modest light display in 1977 and boy has it grown! Three electric meters are needed to handle the power of over 500,000 lights. When …
