2018/07/07 - Saturday - Vacation - Day 16 - Bluffs

Cheryl and I did an hour and half bike ride on a converted rail bed to bike/walking path.

We left camp about 10:00 and stopped in town for gas before getting going.

I did stop at a park to let Turquoise have a break, he was pestering us.

At Carhenge we walked around and then back at the RV had lunch.

We made to Scottsbluff a little bit after two (we did change time zones.)

After unloading the van, we headed for Scottsbluff National Monument.  Amanda got her 81st Jr Ranger badge.

We were going to head to another park, but it was going to close so we drove around the old part of town which gave us more time to find a place to eat.

After dinner we went to Walmart and spend way to much money.

Back at camp, we did talk with Cheryl's co-worker that is here also.

2018/07/03 - Tuesday - Vacation - Day 12 - Pikes Peak and Family

I got up early and did a ten mile bike ride. 

We got going and stopped for drinks, donuts, and gas before heading over to B.G. place.

We headed out to go see P.B., but we took some dirt roads to get there and we stopped at the store before getting there.

She feed us lunch and had a great time chit-chatting.

Our next stop was and Pikes Peak to go see Bridal Veil Falls.  Amanda took several pictures.

We were going to have dinner in Clayton but they did not have a full menu, so we returned to Elkader (via dirt roads :) ) and ate at Fennellys' Irish Pub & Restaurant.

I dropped of Mom M and Cheryl at B.G. place and Amanda and I returned to the RV to check on Turquoise.

We returned to B.G. and spent the rest of the evening working on things and some great talking.

Of course we returned late to RV.

2018/06/26 - Tuesday - Vacation - Day 05 - Outpost and No Dirt Road

We got moving early.  We left at 8:17.  Our first stop was at the local Post Office to mail off the necessary paperwork for this last weekend (Waze Receipts).  We had to circle the block to finally find a place for me to park.

Next stop was a short drive out of town to Bent's Old Fort National Historic Site we spent almost 2 hours there exploring the place.

Next stop was going to be at  Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site Colorado but it is down a 7 mile gravel road and I did not want to take the RV with the Car in tow and having all those flying rocks, so we continued on and stopped at the next town.  We parked near the post office and we had lunch.

Stopped for gas

We stopped for the night and Amanda made dinner.  After dinner I did a 6.2 mile bike ride (did some loops around the area).

Mom M and I walked to Sonic to have a milkshake.  On the walk back the end of town power went out.  And half hour later we still do not have power.
