The wait is almost over……..

  We decided to stay in the Denver area a couple more days.   Not that we needed to do more shopping….we have NO more room for anything.    We've filled every nook and cranny of the Jeep with Costco trips and the MH has the larger boxes cluttering about.    We've looked at furniture until I"m totally confused.    Grand Junction has the same stores we wandered thru so we will go there on Wednesday to make some final decisions.    GJ is about 60 mi from Montrose.     We had a minor problem when we made the decision to stay put…. the CG was full.    We had dinner with friends Cyndi and Scott….Paul played PB with her and we saw them in Albuquerque and they stopped by to see us in Florida.   They were going to a Tiffin rally this weekend in Chatfield St Park and happened to have an extra spot open up.      So, not only did we get a place to hang our hat but we are now official members of the Rocky Mountain Allegro Club (made up of people who own Tiffin Motorhomes).   

  

 The group sites at Chatfield are very nice.    Sort of like circling the wagons …. around a center fire pit with large tables and a nice gravel / concrete surface.    I took this pic as the sun was setting and P was getting the fire set.    We met many very nice people from Colorado.    It was a fun gathering.

We finally pulled up stakes and headed out early this morning for our trip West.   As you climb out of the Denver plains, you crest a long hill and are greeted with your first stunning view of the Rockies.

 And also, the buffalo herd that's been there for years…….

It was an uneventful but beautiful  ride over the passes…..one ski area is still open due to all the recent snow they have had.    Hopefully, this will replenish the lack of moisture in previous years.

We are camped about 5 miles from the house. …...haven't been over to the house yet.    

I'll share our first thoughts in the next day or so…….It's so good to be out in the West again……..
