More Colorado

Hi all
Morning at the Royal Gorge KOA, sort of had the place to ourselves.

We did all we planned to do and even had lunch at a local burger place.
Started the morning going over Sky Line Drive.
Nearly had Millie down on the floorboards.
Not a very long drive, just intense and that is the road, not a walking path.
Our truck just barely fit, good thing it is a one way road.

From there on to The Winery at Holy Cross Abby in Canon City, CO.
The grounds and buildings were wonderful and so was the weather.

After tasting and buying wine we did the self directed tour of the Abby.
Did not have access to much and it was quite plain compared to
Minnesota's St Joseph or ND's Richardton Abby's.
The grounds were nice and we had a nice walk.

After that we went to Bunkhouse Burgers for lunch.
Great place and we had the fish sandwich (excellent) and
their homemade chips (also excellent).
From there a couple of thrift stores, fuel and of course, a quilt shop.
Home to the BWB, cocktails and a light supper.
I played with Photoshop

The next morning we packed up and headed to Shawn and Mark's new place
North of Denver between Loveland and Greely, CO.
Made the drive through Denver just after lunch hour and before rush hour.
Not to bad, just reinforces my desire to avoid big cities, when you can.
Only other choices were mountain roads, way out of the way roads or
the toll road around Denver which would have cost around $50.
Decided to hit the low traffic time right through the middle of Denver.

Got here safe and sound, set up in their driveway and relaxed.
Yesterday Millie and Shawn stayed busy with Shawn's knitting groups.
Mark and I stayed home with their Grandnephew and the 7 dogs.
Everyone was well behaved, even Mark and me.

Make your day great
Tom and Millie
