Hummingbird
We are in the midst of a remodeling project at our tiny mountain cabin. Nothing outlandish, but after having the place for 19 years, it was time for some refreshing. Most of the interior has now been updated, and we are slowly trying to decide on what furniture to place in the living room. Continue reading

I can’t believe that an entire month has transpired since we returned home from our RV road trip through Colorado on June 10th, and somehow I lost my writing mojo along the way.
For someone who LOVES to travel, takes a ton of photographs, writes for a hobby and then truly enjoys sharing our adventures, this was so out of character for me. But, sometimes life gets in the way, other things become a priority, and before you know it, thirty days have come and gone.

Dick and Karen used to live in Colorado Springs, so they played tour guides here, showing us where they used to live and where they had their pie shop, Plush Pippin. Over a delicious BBQ at our campsite our first evening, we got to meet three of their long-time friends, Alanna, Graham and Laura. Made for a wonderful introduction to this area.
In addition to sharing memories, there are several must see things in Colorado Springs. Continue reading

Memorial Day Weekend – Continued
Bear Lake
Sunday: Bear Lake Area and Alberta Falls
Bear Lake is the most popular destination in RMNP. We were warned that the parking lot would fill up early. There is an overflow park-and-ride lot about half way up the hill. We decided to take a chance, and drove directly to the lake. Continue reading
May 25th – 28th ~ Estes Park, Colorado ~ Memorial Day Weekend
Dick, Karen, Joanne and Tim at Alluvial Fan Falls
Finding a spot for two RV’s, relatively last-minute over a holiday weekend, at a popular National Park, with a view of water, is not an easy task. We started looking several weeks in advance and everything was showing sold out on our online searches. Continue reading
