July 25 - 30

 We are now on the last part of our adventure. Heading to Colorado, we had an overnighter in Rawlings, WY. We headed to Rifle Gap State Park. We were here last year and the reservoir was dry, this year it was full and the highest on record. A completely different park!!  Our dear friends from Denver, Doug and Wendy Freyschlag came to Rifle to spend a couple days. We met in Glenwood Springs at Iron Mountain Hot Springs!  If you ever get a chance to stop here for a 3 hr soak with drinks on the Colorado River, DO IT! And of course had to stop for Mexican food at Tequilas!  We spent a day down on the beach at the reservoir and hit the Rifle farmers market. We had so much fun just hanging out! We left rifle and on the road to Ridgeway state park( north of Ouray, CO!




The cold plunge🥶

That soak looks most appealing. The adventure seeking is fun, yet sometimes a stop that offers rest is a very good thing. Safe travels going forward.

 Hi all!  It’s been so busy on this trip, besides cell phone coverage issues, RV issues, really busy hiking, enjoying friends, I haven’t been able to keep up with my blog😳! So here’s a dump of pictures and videos! La Vita, CO was surprisingly wonderful, Woodland Park was as beautiful as when we lived in Colorado Springs, Lyons CO was gorgeous-  outside of Estes Park, we enjoyed friends and hikes. We headed over to Flatiron Resevoir then down to St Vrains State Park! I’ll have no cell coverage for the next 4 days!

 It’s been a several months since we’ve been on the road! And ooooohhhh so happy to get out of the heat in Texas! We are going to spend the next 6 weeks in Colorado. We started up in Fort Worth watching the grandkids for a long weekend!! We had a blast-lots of baseball, swimming, games, school work, girls gymnastics final, and even a sleepover in the RV. The boys are on an all stars baseball team and they kept winning, so we kept changing our departure date🥰 They are champions! Betty is becoming quite the swimmer and a new puppy was added to their family!We left 6/12 and are in La Veta, CO. Already hiking and enjoying the cooler weather and my Happy place “the mountains “.
