After spending the winter and early-spring going east and
west along I-10, from Florida to California, we ended up in Las Cruces, New
Mexico on April 29th. We got on I-25 for the first time since September,
seven months ago, and headed north to Albuquerque to spend a week. We visited
some very good friends there, before heading north again on I-25 for Colorado.
We arrived at Cheyenne Mountain State Park in Colorado
Springs on May 8th for a 12-night stay. It was nice coming back to
Colorado Springs to visit family and friends and to take care of doctor and
dentist appointments.
However, the weather has been atypical Colorado spring
weather. What happened to their 300+ days of annual sunshine? It rained, or was
foggy or misting nearly every day in Colorado Springs. We only saw Pikes Peak
and the sun one day. Thank goodness we missed the hail storms they had the week
before our arrival.
We’re spending the Memorial Day weekend at Boyd Lake in
Loveland, Colorado. On Tuesday, May 26th, we depart on a 3-month
long trip to Alaska with our friends Vince & Lisa. We’ve been planning and
anticipating this Alaska road trip for a couple of years, as they retired last
October, and it’s their first big retirement road trip.
