Today was a great morning. The sunshine woke us up. What a pleasant sight to see. We started off with filling the gas tank in Goodland, Kansas. Grasslands and flat. It is sparsely populated and can see for miles without trees or buildings obstructing the view.
Along the way, there are several hundred evergreens planted in double rows with a fence line. You will see them from time to time. The trees are planted to control the snow. The pavement on the road is laid with grooved and rough surface to prevent vehicles from sliding. There are a lot of snow and weather precautions in the area.
We stopped at Limon, Colorado, to take a breather. We spied a KOA sign, and decided to dump our waste. That was an experience. You could tell we were newbies. Needless to say, we had to change our clothes. We also used our time to make the decision – Colorado Springs or Denver. Denver is it! We want to see the mountains.
We arrived in Denver about 4:30 pm Mountain Standard Time. Boy, the mountains are beautiful. You can see the tops of them with the snowcaps highlight by the sun’s rays. We cooked in the oven and on the stove for the first time. They were gas generated. Our meal consisted of a turkey tenderloin breast that was marinated, green bean casserole, Stove-Top dressing, rolls, and individual pecan pies. It was fantastic! We are truly thankful for our blessings!
We went to bed early, remind you we are in a Wal-Mart parking lot. About 11:00 pm, I was rousted by clanging at my head. “Tom, Tom, get up! Check the Jeep and bikes!” Tom reluctantly got up and checked the exterior. The parking lot was full of cars with some parked within inches of the rig. Lots of commotion and yahoos. A real party outside. It was midnight madness. We went back to sleep with no more difficulty.
