Colorado Adventure 2011

We got the RV fixed after two trips to the repair shop. They had to replace much of the wiring in the coach, move the inverter and wire it with a breaker fuse which had this been installed initially all of our problems would not have happened. We had to rob a bank (not!) to pay for it all. We got home with the repaired RV only two days before we left for Colorado to go off-road Jeeping in Breckenridge.

We left Sedalia on Saturday, September 17 and drove to Burlington, CO where we spent the night because of a severe weather. We got to Breckenridge about noon on Sunday. Once we got settled in, we rode our bikes from Tiger Run RV park up to the town of Breckenridge where we discovered Octoberfest in full swing! What a great way to start a vacation -- with beer and brats.

Today we took an unofficial off-road adventure with four other Jeeps. Our caravan leader's two sons couldn't wait for the official start on Tuesday, so we followed them up to Georgia Pass on the Continental Divide at 11,585 feet altitude. On the way up, we took a wrong turn and drove a very challenging dead end road. Not a bad way to get lost. We came down off the pass and drove to Fairplay and then back toward Breckenridge thru Boreas Pass at 11,481 feet altitude.
