I was checking out the awnings today and found the sealant over the doorway awning was cracked and in need of replacement. I got my handy razor blade tool out and began the job of removing all the cracked sealant. Once removed, I found that there were a ton of leaves wedged in there. It …
Dakota Ridge RV Park, Golden CO
We came to Dakota Ridge after spending a month at a couple of State Parks around the Denver area. I had to be close to the Louisville/Boulder area as I would have to go into the office I manage on a daily basis to complete a project. We couldn’t be too remote, because I had …
Dinosaur Ridge
We’ve driven by it several times, but today was the day we decided to see what Dinosaur Ridge was all about. Since it is only a couple of miles from Dakota Ridge RV Park, we decided to bike it. Oh my goodness, you find out quickly just how out of shape you are while pedaling …
Gotta Remove Those Graphics
I don’t know why most all RVs have such goofy graphics, but I knew shortly after we got our Alfa, that I wanted them removed. Last September, when we were still living in our rental house in FL, I started the daunting task. I thought that I’d use a pressure washer and soon found out that …
Keeping the Water Lines From Freezing
This is our first winter in cold weather in our RV and we keep doing little things here and there to improve our insulation and winterizing. For the past month, we split our time at two different Colorado State Parks. Each one would not allow continuous hook up to the city water. One asked that you simply use …
Rewired
When we bought the RV it had an extra set of brake lights/turn signals installed. They are a great addition as our tow vehicle blocks the regular tail lights and signals. On our maiden voyage in June one of the lenses fell off. It was just the amber lens that was against the RV. With …
Windy, Windy, Windy
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 …
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 …
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 …
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…
