Across the Rockies
View To Denver in a larger map
Yesterday we drove through the barren lands of central Wyoming and the beautiful mountains of northern Colorado on our way to Denver. We thought yesterday would be an easy day and we would arrive early in the afternoon in Denver. It was not to be.
First, we got a late start out of Little America, around 10:00 AM. Then around noon we stopped for lunch to BBQ our burgers on the "BBQ on the go". This wasn't so successful. The first one just wouldn't heat up. After an hour we gave up and started the second one and that one worked so much better. So what was supposed to be a nice relaxing lunch stop turned into a two hour drama.
The final issue that prevented us was a traffic just south of Fort Collins. We hit some bad backups, for reasons still unknown, that slowed us down. So, rather than sit in traffic, we went to Cracker Barrel for dinner. After dinner everyone was feeling better and traffic had cleared through that area so we made the final leg into Denver and to Doug's place.
The girls instantly made some friends with a couple of girls that live in house that shares Doug's courtyard and we had a nice evening as they played and we decompressed some from our 3 days of driving.
Today we are headed out to explore Denver some.

why are you watching movies instead of enjoying the scenery.
Love MeMa.
I love watching the changing scenery. There's a lot we'd like to do another time in Idaho and Utah and sometime we'll visit Cheyenne.
We've decided that 500 miles is a lot in one day so we're adjusting our plans for the next leg of driving. We're learning.
Now, I must go and google Pronghorn.
