We left you in Limon Colorado and that is when we drove to Littleton to see the last batch of relatives on this trip. We had a great visit (my first meeting) with Lydia's cousins Phyllis and Dave and got to see her Uncle Phil too. Had some great fajitas on the back deck and talked ourselves silly catching up after many years. That was until the daily thunderstorms arrived! I guess we had almost forgotten how loud thunder can be when it is up close and personal.
We spent the night at Chatfield State Park (thanks Steve and Sally) and can give it a great recommendation. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and wish we had more time to explore the area. I even had a fun little frog companion in the shower. He didn't think too much of the running water but came hopping back when I turned the shower off. We saw lots of King Birds, a Bullock's Oriole, and an amazing amount of Broadtailed Hummingbirds who were really putting on a show.
After Littleton we headed to Cheyenne, WY. Another nice little RV park and a visit to a Sierra Trading Post outlet store, which is a great outdoor products place to shop. Back at the RV park we found that they do a BBQ every night and we feasted on an order of ribs, spicy beans and potato salad. Good food for sure. Another nightly thunderstorm and we were off to Casper, WY the next morning.
We had a nice drive up I25 today if you can call the interstate highway system a nice drive. There is some spectacular scenery coming this way, and I suppose any route would have been the same. Even finally got to see an antelope along side the road. Lots of roadwork everywhere we go and boy do we need it. It seems as if the entire interstate highway system is crumbling under our tires!
Our campground here is one of our few KOA's along our route. It is a nice place to park for a night but once again the nightly storms have kept us in the RV for most of the afternoon. Watching the weather report tonite we were glad to be out of Cheyenne, as they had golf ball hail today!!!
Tomorrow we are off to Sheridan, WY and a night of Vaudeville at the famous WYO Theatre.
Ten more days and home again..
Phil & Lydia
