Colorado here we come!

Here's photo proof we finally made it to Colorado. We no longer have an empty spot in the middle of our states visited map.

Before we left Cheyenne, we went to Target and Safeway to pick up a few things as we didn't know how far out of town we would be at our next stop. When we left the RV park, it was warm, sunny, and no wind. By the time we got back, the wind was blowing significantly and the temperature had dropped. We got our groceries put away, slides pulled in, hooked up, and we were off. Surprisingly, a short ways in to Colorado and the wind died down so that helped the fuel mileage as we weren't driving into a headwind.

Here is a shot of a metal cutout of a lone bison looking down from the hill. We thought it was a nice sight.

Ah, a view of the Rocky Mountains from Interstate 25 - I can feel a John Denver song starting in my head right now.

We pulled into Riverview RV Park with Rick and Y pulling in behind us about five minutes later. We were given side-by-side sites where our front doors look at each other. It is like we have a private courtyard between us. We are about 8 miles from every convenience you could ask for so we didn't need to do any shopping yesterday. After getting set-up, we all were starving so we drove into Loveland to get a bite to eat and ended up at Cracker Barrel.

Upon our return to our rigs, I was able to get some laundry done in between visiting. John and Rick talked generally about what we wanted to see but we really need to get some tourist information; that will be on the agenda for tomorrow. Late afternoon, the wind really started to blow and we had some really strong wind gusts. It was the kind of strong wind that usually brings a heavy downpour of rain but we only got a few sprinkles. The temperature is suppose to drop 20 plus degrees tomorrow and then return to nice weather on Friday. Looking forward to seeing Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park.
