More Road Stories...Jim & SueZ.

After a thorough tour of the Walmarts of Southern Colorado we set up on the banks of the Rio Grande (Yes! THAT Rio Grande) in South Fork.
This is the view outside our window. It was so cold there should have been ice on the river.
The deer weren't that picky about the cold.

Next stop was Mesa Verde where we learned about the Pueblo cultures of a thousand years ago...and saw evidence of the beetle infestation that is ravaging Colorado.Then a find!

In Vail...the Betty Ford Alpine Garden. It's just off I-70 and a must see.

Beautifully landscaped....Gorgeous flowers blooming...It is a real treat.

Finally...we hooked up at Toni & Paul's Deluxe RV Resort in Granby... where we were wined and dined and treated to outstanding views and fellowship...and wine...Did I mention the wine?
And the view?What a great place they have!!

Toni took us on an insider's tour of Granby, Grand Lake and the dam where Bob D. spent his misbegotten youth. Ask him about it.

And she showed us her pride and joy...the libraries of Granby & Grand Lake.

Note the plaque...

El Presidente!!!

We had a lovely time.

Next stop...son's house in Longmont.
Then it's off to points north.

Look out Mary & John...here we come, oh, in about a week.

Well, just keep coming north. It is snowing here today, but it was 29 (thats 84 for y'all) in Inuvik yesterday. For those who don't have a map, Inuvik is north of Alaska!
