Mountains

A guy who was camping just down from us gave us some wood last night then this morning invited us over to use his stove and we got talking.  Del and his wife Peggy were really nice and headed the same way we were.  We probably could have talked all day but we got on the road around 8.  At first we had a head wind but soon the wind calmed and we made good time.  At lunch we had a choice to make go 10 miles north or 50 west cutting a day off the trip.  We both felt good so we headed west toward Pueblo.  It was a slight up hill climb bit we still kept a high average and by 5 we were there and had done 96 miles.   Mid way through the day we were finally able to see the mountains.  Tomorrow we head up to my Uncle Glen and Aunt Joanne's  in the black forest,  it will be 60 miles and over 2000 feet of elevation.

  1. Hi Guys! Hope you are both doing well! I think your trip is amazing! The kids and I love following your blog. Let me know if you would like to spend some time over at my house when you are out visiting aunt barbara. I'm about 15 miles south of her place. I have plenty of beds, warm showers, and meals for ya. You could also enjoy the pool and spa. Charlie, I just got the huge hill cleared last week, so you won't have to do any work at my place this time around. Good luck on the rest of the adventure. Be safe.
    Love and Prayers,
