In 2008 I lost my job. I then bought an RV and went on a three year road trip that took me to all of the lower 48 states, to 5 provinces in Canada, and I spent 3 months in the winter in Mexico. I then returned home for my 50th birthday in June 2011. This blog is a record of this amazing road adventure and I hope you enjoy every mile of my trip.

Denver is great! But if you came from Moab, go back to Durango, ride the train from there to Silverton. Drive the Million Dollar Hwy. Go to Ouray and go jeeping. Come back to Denver through ski country, then head for Rocky Mountain National Park. The first snow there is usually about 3 October and the hiking is fantastic. Hike the Bear Lake trail and don't forget your camera. See/hear the elk on the moraine. Have a ball.
Isn't the bear cool? You used to be able to get little figures of him; one of my coworkers at my last job had one.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got here on a nice day - although it was a bit warm. Tomorrow should be cooler.
Enjoy your wanderings!

Yes, I liked the bear and I really loved those dancers, those are very cool!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to have a special moment of celebration while you are in Denver since well...I was born there :)
ReplyDeleteI will start it for you:
YAY Denver!!!

ReplyDeleteYou're a Denver baby? I didn't know that. Will definitely have to celebrate! I'll go dancing with those two in the first pic, how's that? :-)
ReplyDeleteWow! That is quite the itinerary.
ReplyDeleteI will be doing some of it, but in the opposite direction :-)
