Today we arose to sunshine and more snow on some of the mountain peaks outside Denver. It was an awesome sight. We began our day leisurely. Around 10 am, Bryan and Denise arrived with the remainder of our laundry. Way to go! Deliver to your door laundry service. Thanks, Denise, I appreciated it so much.
The four of us proceeded to Denny’s for brunch enjoying our friends’ company and conversation. We then arrived back at the rig and said our good-byes. Next we started our trip to Trinidad (Colorado’s southernmost town), our destination for the day.
On our way, we traveled through Colorado Springs where we paused at a scenic overlook to take some pictures of the rig with the Rocky Mountains in the background. From Denver to Colorado Springs, the mountains were on the right. What a spectacular sight! The drive was not as difficult as it could have been. There were winds but not too gusty, and the ride was beautiful with the sunshine. Around 4pm, we stopped at a rest area to allow the sun to set behind the mountains so the sun’s rays would not interfere with the driving. The next 40 miles were the most difficult – Tom was driving after dark. His eyes were fixed on the white lines as well as vehicle lights affecting his vision. The drive was very tense. Finally, around 6 pm, we stopped for gas then proceeded to our destination another Wal-Mart parking lot.
That night tested the motorhome’s systems. The temperature got into the teens. We survived the night staying warm with no frozen pipes, or breakdowns.
