Trip to Estes Park

Left Frisco about 7:30 Saturday morning after spending Friday packing up the motorhome. Breck of course was a nervous wreck during this process. But after his normal morning walk he was "packed" into the motohme too and off we went - with Scherry following instead of leading for a change.

Last night we spent the night in Clayton, NM which is a little over half way from Frisco to Estes Park. I love having a bed that is always made - how nice to just crawl in when it is time! The motorhome is really nice.

Today we went across the northwestern edge of New Mexico - they could pay their whole state budget if they would just impose a $25 toll to use that passage from Texas to Colorado! There were hundreds of pronghorn antelope today and I even saw a fat coyote on the side of the road - the cattle saw him too - they headed in the opposite direction in a hurry!

Then up an over Raton Pass - as easy as could be. Kept the motorhome over 45 mph the whole way! We stopped at the city park in Fountain for a picnic lunch so Breck could have a nice walk! Then on to Estes Park - ran into some rain in Colorado Springs and again north of Denver but it wasn't too bad. Got inot Estes Park about 3:30 or so. Unhooked the car and set up and walked Breck and then went to Smokin' Daves for dinner with some of Scherry's friends from home. It was great.

Now I am trying to keep my eyes open until 9 - not sure I will make it. Breck has had his evening treat and we are settled in for the night! It is quite cool - almost cold - especially while looking at snow on the peaks! Debating my electric blanket...think I will just go with the quilt for tonight.

Tomorrow ... who knows - with the crowds maybe we will just take it easy. Though I feel sure Breck will get to the dog park!! Lucky dog!
