Too Much Going On

I just can't seem to find the time to record our adventures --we've done so much!

Friday was a good day - bad day. It was a good day because we had a nice run up Italian Pass over to Crested Butte and we had a great time and a beer with our friends at a pizza place then dinner at at an Italian restaurant. But it was a bad day because Mike's Jeep broke a tied rod in the middle of the trail. After a couple of hours of working on it and not able to make a temporary fix the men rolled the Jeep to a wide spot on the trail and left it there. Mike was able to get the part and a mechanic up on the mountain the next day and drove it off.

Saturday morning we had a farewell breakfast with promises of getting together next year. We then hitched up the Jeep to the RV to go over Cottonwood Pass again. In the RV it took us 50 minutes to drive the 14 miles of gravel road to the top and 30 minutes to drive back down and into Buena Vista. We then headed to Conifer where we parked in Ray and Judy's driveway for two nights. We had a wonderful visit with our friends!

Monday morning we got a late start on our way to Tetons National Park because we were having such a nice visit with Ray and Judy. I guess we got a little too relaxed because I spilt a whole glass of water on the couch and floor and John missed two exits on our route. It was not a good start to our day!

We got as far as Rawlins, WY and will have a 6 hour drive today. We can't wait to get there and Rest!
