Monday and Tuesday were Scherry's days off.
Monday, we needed to get her car into Loveland to get the towbar put on so she will be able to get it back to Liberty in the fall. So we left about 9 to take her car into the shop. Then we ate some lunch in Loveland at Cracker Barrel before heading into the Cache la Poudre Canyon. We were proud of ourselves for finding it! It is really a pretty drive. The river was running well. We saw some rafters - glad that that is in my past. They looked like they were having fun though we did pass them when they were all stopped - seemed one raft had had some sort of problem - probably someone overboard - they were all standing on shore while the other rafts waited a bit downstream. Brought back memories... We didn't get back to Estes Park until 5:30 and decided we would just eat in our places.
Tuesday we decided we would take a hike in the morning before going back to Loveland to get Scherry's car. We took the shuttle up to Bear Lake and hiked down the Glacier Creek trail to Bierstadt trailhead to catch the shuttle back to our car. It was a nice hike - about 4.5 miles but downhill which was just what I needed for my first outing! I get pretty winded walking up the hill to the motor home while walking Breck! The flowers were great. And the streams were running nicely! After we finished our hike we went to Sprague Lake for a picnic. Then we headed back to Loveland to get the car. When schers got back to Estes we went to Grumpy Gringos for dinner. Really pretty bad Mexican food!
Wednesday morning at 8 I had an appointment with Lenny - the RV repairman! He arrived about 8:15 and crawled under the motorhome and proclaimed that the motor had a flat part (??) and that was why it was sticking. He said I needed a new motor but I told him I would wait until i got home because I had a service contract on the motorhome. He said that sounded like a plan. He said we could put it out by just pushing it whild the motor was turning. So at least I have my SPACE now! He assured me that the slide will come back in as long as someone is pushing from the outside while I'm inside pushing the button to turn the motor. He said it would work that way for a while BUT that I needed a new motor. So Schers will be pushing Tuesday (before I leave Wed) and itf it doesn't work he'll be coming back up here!!
After he left I decided to head up to the top of Trail Ridge Road so Breck and I put the top down and headed uphill. It was a great drive - car thermometer got down to 57!! On the way back we went by Sheep Meadow and there were 2 young rams in the valley. Took lots of pictures of them! I felt lucky to see them. Then Breckers and I went to the dog park so he could swim and run!! All in all a good day.
Tried to put more than one picture on but only one was successful. Will try more later.
