Mellowing in Colorado

The Excellent Adventure has settled in for a few days in Limon, Colorado, using it as an RV base to explore parts of the state.

We will be packing up and heading out tomorrow for an extended camp near the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone.

Sherlock has finally been behaving himself, with just an occasional blown circuit breaker to reset. We have been taking the Jetta into the Colorado Springs area to see the Garden of the Gods, Pike’s Peak and the Royal Gorge (photos are attached to this post).

A few random observations:

1) Oklahoma roads are ridiculously rough; it is like you are hitting a speed bump every 30 feet on Interstate 35.

2) It is worth the time and effort to drive to the top of Pike’s Peak—it was amazing experience, although kinda scary.

3) It is hard to breathe at the top of Pike’s Peak.

4) Frito Pie is an underrated dinner option.

5) Are observations #3 and #4 related?

6) People in Colorado have seemed exceptionally nice. Is this just because of their good-naturedness, or is it because they are more medicinally mellow?

Westward Ho!
