March 16th, 2022 I came back from a ski trip one and a half weeks ago. Things are happening fast now. On Monday the 7th, I took delivery of my new travel trailer.

February 25th – March 6th, 2022 I started my Minnesota ski trip at 5 a.m. on Friday, heading north on Interstate 75 towards Upper Michigan.

Halfmoon Creek Camping September 20-22nd, 2021 Early on Sunday, the 20th of September, I drove back down from Grand Mesa and turned east onto Interstate 70. I passed through Glenwood Springs and the canyon above. The recent massive mud and rockslides that had closed I-70 for weeks were still evident in Glenwood Canyon. I followedContinue reading “Colorado Loop – Part 5”
