Wide open spaces finally!

It's so great to be out of the northeast!! We left Virginia Friday afternoon, headed to Minnesota. We arrived at Camp Ripley in Little Falls, MN in the wee hours of Sunday morning and went into secure hold. The weather was beautiful and we stayed there until Monday morning. We didn't have to run the AC at all, we just opened the windows and back doors and enjoyed the beautiful breeze.



We unloaded there Monday morning and headed for Fort Carson, Colorado. It was an uneventful drive and we enjoyed having open roads, no cities and decent roads and speed limits! We made it to Colorado Springs early this morning and had to wait to unload, but the breeze and the sun rising and shining on the mountains was awesome.



We are now sitting at a small truck stop waiting for a load. It's possible we won't get out until tomorrow, but that's ok. We've had a nap, are getting ready to get a shower. It's supposed to go down into the 60s tonight, so we should be able to sleep good. We're also hoping to catch the Persied meteor showers tonight.

Stay tuned....

Colorado Springs is so beautiful.
Hope you enjoy it there.
I'm glad too that you guys are out of the cities!!!!
Did you get to view the Persied Meteor show? My eyes went closed & it was over when I woke up.
Hope you get to stay in the great
outdoors for a while.
