Joan on the Road...of Life

We're back in Estes Park, CO after about 30 years and have a wonderful campsite at Elk Meadow Lodge & RV Resort with an amazing 180 degree view of the Rockies. We are right next to Rocky Mountain National Park and will visit the park several times, I'm sure. We thought that the high road, Trail Ridge, would be open but looks like it will be several days until it is snow free. We may just stay the week and hope to take that drive, the highest paved road in the country if not the world.

I didn't expect to stop here on our IL to CA trek, but Jim had this great idea and it only added a couple of hundred miles to our journey.

We are at 7600' and the mountains still rise up 6000' or so. The first few days at this elevation leave us light headed after little exertion, so we're being really lazy. The weather is really gorgeous but can turn on a dime. Last week they had snow here, today it's 80! At the end of the day...here's a view from my window.
