Today’s weather was dramatically better than yesterday’s torrents. The last of the rain ended around 5:30am and we embarked on a sunny city day. Our first mission was to find a suitable place to park the RV in downtown

Mary’s Lake Campground, Estes Park,
Today we felt for the first time what holiday season means. The park was full of people and cars. There was a long line just to get in past the park entrance point. We wanted to hike to
