Colorado Springs

Yesterday we headed into Cheyenne to check it out. Not much going on but downtown was busy, mostly at the restaurants. We stopped at a Sinclair station and got diesel for $2.75, that's the lowest we've seen in awhile.

While driving the downtown area we found another Sanford's Grub and Pub and we each tried something different from out last visit. Jim got a Crocodile Cristo and I had a club sandwich...again we enjoyed the food and the restaurants are filled with wonders. The ceiling of this one had sports pennants. Oh, they had 50 different draft beers!

the rest of our day was very relaxing, we came home and took a nap! had coffee when we got up but no dinner.

Our drive today wasn't a long one so we didn't hurry our departure this morning. Still, we were on the road around 0945 and the skies were really depressing.

About an hour into our drive we stopped at Camping World so Jim could pick up a Sewer Solution. Perhaps you full timers know what that is.
We're in Colorado! See the mountains?

The skies did start to clear up


But if you looked over towards the mountains you could see dark clouds.



Passing through Denver, now I can say I've been there! :) It's quite big and I'm sure there's lots to see and do but that would require some research and planning before I'd go back.




Castle Rock, from what I could tell from I-25 you go there to shop.
As we arrived at the Air Force Academy Fam Camp it started raining and by the time we got to our site it was a good steady, gentle rain. One of the first things we did was send up the dish. With all the trees we weren't sure if we'd get a signal for TV and internet. Once the signal came in Jim got busy. Bless his heart, he set up in the rain again.
We had an early dinner and then when the rain stopped we went for a walk taking Boo along. A couple of chores, showers and some TV.





A pretty sunset, suite dreams.
