East Bound

Wednesday we headed to Durango CO.  Another new adventure for both of us.     We made it to a very busy Durango and found a nice campground right outside of town.  We checked out a local brewery of course.  Colorado has good beer!


On Thursday we headed north thru the San Juan Mountains.  It was probably beautiful but driving the mountain roads made it virtually impossible to  notice. Love Colorado but mountain driving pulling a trailer sucks.  And a crazy Jeep driver launched a rock into our windshield. 


 We could not find a campground after about 8 hours of driving so we landed in a hotel parking lot in Frisco CO right next to the freeway. 


Friday we headed east and of course came to a dead stop in Denver.  The freeway into Denver has numerous warnings about downhill grade, checking brakes, runoff lanes, sharp turns, chain stations, etc. and lasts for 44 miles.  It is exhausting.  


We made it to the fairgrounds in Colby KS early afternoon. So very hot still but the area is flat and safe. We both were so tired we went to bed before dark only to be awakened by car races starting at 10 pm on the fairgrounds along with high winds across the prairie.  Who races cars at 10 pm???  Go to bed people !



Saturday we moved east across Kansas and ended up at the Cowley County Fairgrounds in Winfield, KS.  Still hot and storm warnings once we arrived but no storms all night.  Actually a beautiful spot.
