Perfect Weather -- Beautiful scenery -- July 31, 2017, Day 40

Yep, couldn't have asked for a better day than today.  78 degrees is my perfect temperature.

This campground is really incredible.  220 spaces and we are all just one big happy family.  There is little if any barrier between us and there are two tent sites alongside so we are kind of part of their party too!!  I just noticed that while we brought along our dog, our neighbors brought along their pet turtle.  I also noticed a young man walking his baby in a stroller -- kid was sound asleep, daddy was plugged into his headset -- probably listening to Alice in Chains or something like that.

This morning I got a run in.  It was late because we just changed time zones.  I didn't get out til 8:30am.  I twas a good run and that makes life  great!

Off to the town of South Haven to find the lighthouse and the Maritime Museum.  As you can see, we found both of them.  For lunch we had hot dogs -- me the gourmet (blue cheese, celery, aioli and the hot dog -- Russ had a footlong Chicago style dog.  Found a pretty little park in a pretty little neighborhood to enjoy.

Tonight cheeseburgers and zucchini.  Tomorrow we will be moving across state to stay near my sister's house for the night before the Reunion Weekend begins!!

More Bad JuJu - Day 12, Friday, June 30, 2017 Bighorn Mts to Cody, WY

Image
Jeez, the morning was fine.  Russ made it back to Buffalo and got the tire fixed.  That was the good news.  We departed the Tie Hack campground at 9:30am and made good time traveling west through the Bighorn Mountains with the final destination being Cody, WY. The drive was beautiful as promised by the notations on the map.  We crossed the Powder River Pass (elevation 9,666) and headed down the TenSleep Canyon.  Here we were treated to truly spectacular views.  Deep gorges and massive rock wall formations.  Also involved in this little journey was a road repair job that necessitated all of us being lead by a "pilot car."  Actually all they were doing was a slurry seal that involved gravel on the bottom and some black substance sprayed over it.  Well by the time we got through that road construction and stopped for a pee break, this is what had happened to the front window of our brand new lance trailer: 😢 So, we spent the rest of the ...

Evening in Breckenridge Day 5, 6/24/17

Friday, 6/24/17, Breckenridge, Colorado. On a warm afternoon cooling into an alpine evening with hints of approaching chill the main street is alive with colorful clots of moving people.  Breckenridge, a mining and timber town begun in the 1980's  lives now in it's identity as a mountain destination resort with activities for all ages, the perfect place to wear that new Patagonia jacket.  The old buildings have put on new faces and the new buildings are faced with weathered barn-wood to create a Swiss Alps/old mountain mining town/New Age Ski Town atmosphere.   The walkers and shoppers, in groups, pairs and singles roam freely on the the sidewalks and into the street,  Vehicle traffic crawls, for the pedestrian is king and need take no heed of intersections or signals.  We did manage to find parking and had a lovely dinner with friends at the Quandary Grille.  During the hours we spent at the restaurant, the town went to bed and we drove back to our ...

Warren AFB

6/27/17  Cheyenne, Wyoming We're spending the night at Warren Air Force Base on the outskirts of Cheyenne.  Because I'm retired military, we can use the RV facilities that most bases have.  It's a pretty good deal; for 15-20 bucks you get power, water, sewer connections and a gated community with an armed guard. Life is subtly different on a military base.  Time is measured by bugle calls that can catch you by surprise.  The Post Commander determines the schedule, so it can differ a little from base to base. At the sound of "To the Colors" everyone on base stops whatever they are doing and turns toward the music.  It's like when you were 10 and somebody yelled "freeze".  It is a moment of oneness when everybody is doing the same thing, privates and generals, bound by ritual and ceremony. Military bases are cloistered societies.  They evolve socially at a different rate than civilians.  There are charming remnants of chauvinism.  In...
