Road Trip Day 1 of 12

Started out the day by showering at 4am. Couldn't sleep. Started packing up a bit, and John told me I had better just lay down and rest. Smart guy. I did and napped another 45 minutes. Left the house about 7:10 am. Made it to Co Springs about 4:30 mountain time. Not too bad. We took frequent breaks to stretch. Great weather, good companions. We listened to my IPOD shuffle on the way and did not make it complete through the playlist. Started out with the BACK TO THE FUTURE movies themes. Great tunes to start a Road Trip. Very exciting!. There was a BUNCH of fog over the Missouri River.

After we pitched our tent we headed over to Garden of the Gods. It was FABULOUS. Late afternoon early evening was a great time to see it. Tonight we will run down to Seven Falls. In the morning we will go up Pikes Peak then head south.

Our campground stinks. We were supposed to stay 2 nights but I cancelled tomorrow night. Hopefully we can find something better a little farther down the road. It is a HUGE RV park, and then a little gravel strip for tent camping along a creek. Sounds pretty, but...... ugh.

Bye now!
