Welcome to Vail! ...unless you're a bbow!

Gary thot we should start our day with a bike ride on this amazing trail that follows the river down Glenwood Canyon. He spent a lot of time trying different options but it was not to be, so we got our bbow back on the road. Our destination today is Colorado Springs. Our route took us on I 70 right thru the Rockies. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful drive.

We planned a Starbucks stop in Vail. Who doesn't wanted to say they had a latte' in Vail?? Guess what, Vail has no intention of welcoming a bbow. We drove off their exit and were harassed till we hit the on ramp. How do you like that!

Well, down the road we found a warm welcome in Silverthorne and we spent our money there instead. There were also several old mining towns along the way that were so fun to see. We seemed to burst from the mountains and there below us was Denver. We chose to drive a route thru Denver just to see a part of it. We had no time to stop but did enjoy the glimpse.

Between there and Colorado Springs we needed to find a "resort". It seems that all the things we came to see are on the north end of town, but all the "resorts" are down south. We went with the KOA South and were able to set up before dark. This bbow is much easier to set up than our '92 bbow, which is really nice for Gary since he doesn't have his sons along for assistance this trip. Taryn is learning a few ways to help as we go along and that is good for her. I now know how to push buttons: push a button and the slide goes out, push a button and the generator starts...and other tough stuff like that. Don't be too harsh on me, I still cook and do laundry!!

On your next trip in your next bbow, maybe you'll be able to push a button and tell your oven what you want for dinner, and it'll make it for you! Kinda like Star Trek.
