Friday April 4th
Amazing day today. We only drove about 250 miles, but we are finally!!!!!!out of the mountains. I know we will regret saying that as we head across Kansas which is totally boring, but....
We did get out of the campground without any trouble and Glenwood canyon is as beautiful as they said it would be....the climb up to Vail pass(10,608 foot) was spectacular, but the road is a piece of shit....so it took away from the beauty as I was constantly worried about blowing a tire and we did hit one pot hole that I thought we would lose the truck in!!!!!
One down grade was 11(count em' eleven) miles of 5 and 6 percent grades....it would have been fine without the ROUGH highway.
But we did survive, with some minor damage inside the trailer, one lamp kind of broke but I think it is fixable.....drawers were open dust came off of the slides...
We are now in Limon Colorado as it was such a stressful day that we stopper early.
We are about 650 miles from Tahlequah and another 800 from Indiana, so lots of driving to do.
I am still having problems getting pictures onto the site. When we download them from the camera onto the computer they do not show up as pictures, just an icon. So it is hard to pick out the ones to post....we will get it figured out eventually with some help from a computer whiz (phil, HELP)
see ya
