Tue. May 16,

The target was Golden, CO for Mon night and the weather angel was again on my shoulder. We woke to cloudy grey skies but got the 15 minutes of dry I asked for to pack up and get on the road. We were only down the road 15 miles when the rain started. The grey skies and on and off rain were with us the first few hours. 

Accommodations were sparse in the area around Denver and Golden so we made reservations for the Clear Creek RV Park and got the next to last space in the park. By the time we arrived they were booked solid. Small park in the heart of Golden, but REALLY nice with walking trails and a park nearby. Some of the sites are creek side. 


Golden is the home of Coors, my beverage of choice, and the facility is massive. We arrived late enough I didn't think a tour would be worthwhile this trip, but I will come back and spend some time. Golden is a neat little town.

Tue. morning we awoke very early and were on the road 45 minutes before the planned departure. This was good as we wanted to cover just over 500 miles today and reach Delta, UT. Mostly blue skies allowed for lots of scenic views and Deb outdid herself snapping photos. The count today was 90 pictures so I can't show them all but here are a few.




We arrived at the Antelope Valley RV Park a little past 3pm, set up and sat back with a cocktail. A slightly shorter day tomorrow as we target Fernley, NV.
I expect the next and final post to be a wrap-up from Home later this week.

 Tue morning May 2. The last few days have been generally nice weather-wise and it has been fun to be with my brother. Saturday we went to a German Festival fund raiser. They had a good turn out in spite of the weather, which brought in a thunder storm. We got in line for the sausages and had about a 20 minute wait to get to the window. They were worth the wait. We went to the bake sale next, should have been first. The storm drove everyone inside and they all but bought out the bake sale. We did manage 4 cookies and some peanut clusters. A quiet afternoon followed - while the rain stopped, it was overcast and we were more comfortable inside watching the Mexican Open. Sunday we went for a buffet meal at Saraceno's. This is a tiny place with excellent food and numerus choices. The desserts were wonderful as well. After the meal we drove down by the pier in Mobile Bay and walked the open air market that was going on for small businesses. They only allowed people to display what the m...

 Thursday May 8, Monday the weatherman was less than friendly and decided to drizzle on us most of the day. The walkers got in their walk and we spent the day in the condo or on the balcony. Our nephew Brandon and his wife Joi came over and spent the afternoon with us. This is Joi and my sister Bunny. Brandon cooked for us and made Cajun shrimp etouffee, which was wonderful. Here is a group photo minus photographer Deb. Brandon is standing on the left and Joi is front right. Tue. was checkout day, so we all packed up and then met at Duck's Diner for a final breakfast before Bunny and Michael headed for Fl and we returned to Bob and Roz's house. Later, we made our first stop at a semi-fast food place, Culver's, for dinner and an ice cream. The evening was spent watching a movie. Wed. Bob went to work at the golf course, while Deb and I prepared for the Thursday departure. Repacked and reorganized for a visit to friends in Jackson, MO, before starting west. A quiet evening at...

 April 26. Having concluded the blog entry on Monday after our visit to Sedona we decided we needed to check the weather for the next part of the trip. Good thing, the original itinerary had us going I-40 to Tucumcari, but the weatherman had severe thunderstorms and possible hail predicted for that route. We changed to Las Cruces, NM and and had a beautiful sunny day off the interstate on two lane road from Holbrook to Deming. Very enjoyable ride and a pleasant night in Hacienda RV Resort. Excellent facilities with private showers and other amenities. Deb was slightly less pleased because of the proximity to I-10, which I found as white noise that helped me sleep. On the road at 7:30 we planned for Kerrville, Tx again due to weather considerations. We are behind a storm and want to stay behind it rather than drive into it but we expect scattered thunderstorms tonight, clearing we hope by morning. I am in the campground, River Trail Cottages & RV in Kerrville. A bit pricey but w...
