We made it to Colorado!!

Friday we didn't get moving real fast, but headed out about 11:00 to check out town a place for lunch

Story Skies in Wyoming

and ended up at an Olive Garden....ugh, but there was a very small RV show in the parking lot, so we got to walk off part of lunch.  After that we headed back to the AFB heading to the museum.  It was very small, parts of it were interesting, but others were rather disappointing and the placards didn't go with the displays, but it killed about an hour.  We did a bit of a tour of the base, then headed to the exchange/commissary.  I think they were one of the smallest we have ever seen, even the Carlisle commissary and exchange were bigger than those.  We did some shopping, not finding much of what we needed, checked out and then a little more of a drive around the base, finally back to the CG.  We walked Rudy a couple of time, watching the next round of RVer's pulling in for the night, kind of anxious about tomorrow and not really doing much.  Brad wasn't feeling real well, so it was a light meal inside, listening to the rain showers come and go......hoping tomorrow brings a nicer day.

Saturday we got ready and headed out about 10:00, stopped for gas about 5 miles up the road which ended up taking about 45 min, the RV lanes were full, and the people were moving very slow.  We

to see us off.  :-)

only have about 1.5 drive, but so far, we aren't moving very fast.  We hit Colorado and about 5 miles before our exit is the visitors center, so we stop, get a map and some information on the area.  We were there about an hour checking out the little walking areas and just killing some time.  Back on the road and we still managed to get to Inlet Bay CG, our summer destination, and were parked in our spot by 12:45...what a drive.  Kathleen, our supervisor came over to introduce herself and welcome us...nice lady,  So we started setting up when Larry and Sue, the other CG hosts come over to say hello and we ended up talking for about 30 min.  They are nice enough and Dakota, their dog, and Rudy seemed to get along well.

 

Sunday we headed out to find the Admin. Office, since we had training there on Wednesday, we thought it might be nice to know where it is located.  We then drove up to Carter Lake and did a drive through there before heading out, stopping at the Windjammer Roadhouse for lunch.  The had a smoked chicken or pork quesadilla, with coleslaw in it.  I had the chicken and Brad had the pork and both were delicious. After that we headed down Route 34, heading into Loveland, first stop was Old Navy where I exchanged the jeans I bought in PA...gotta love that, then we found a Starbucks, grocery story and stopped at one of the many liquor stores, all within 5 blocks of one another.  After that we headed home, walked Rudy and just had some cheese and crackers for dinner, both of us still being full from lunch. 

 

View for the summer

Monday we headed back into town, our first stop being camping world for a new rug.  We then took a side road into this little town and found a place for lunch.  We lucked out again with great food, a burger for me and steak sandwich for Brad, made with real steak pieces.  After that a trip to Wal-Mart, which is always sooooooo much fun when Brad is along, then off to the grocery store to do some real shopping.  We did make a little side stop at the 'Sprouts' store, which is an all natural store, that was an interesting store and we even made a purchase.  From there we went to Albertson's, which looked like it would have been their first store, very old and small.  After that we headed home to rescue Rudy, having left overs for dinner and hid inside from the rain.  We are having a lot of rain, which they say is unusual for this time of year.....yea. 

More stormy skies in
Colorado!

Tuesday was a busy day, I headed into town to the Laundromat while Brad moved the Moho from site 1 to site 2.  Yes we had to move one site, but now we are settled in for the summer.  When I got home, Brad was on the phone, so I headed in to finish setting up the RV again, making the bed and getting out the new bed spread.  We did some walking with Rudy, talking with the neighbors then we had sun dried tomato sausages for dinner and were settled in by 7:00 for NCIS....the time difference is still something we need to get used to.  One thing is nice, we have the satellite set up, but still manage to get the local, network channels on the antenna, yeah.  We do have lots of animals here, ducks, geese and mule deer, so it is nothing to look out any window and see some kind of wild life, it could even be a carp jumping out of the water.
