Wyoming to Denver

The geology of southern Idaho, which included lava fields and ice caves gave us pause. It looked like a moon scape. We did not stop to check it out but next time. As the road to Denver took us across Wyoming there was nothing but oil rigs dotting the landscape as well as many windmills. The roads were so exposed  there were  signs on the highway saying protected area next 3 miles. If you don't know Walter likes to push the gas tank to nothing so he doesn't waist time going more frequently.  Well there is nothing out in this area for miles and we were down to 7 miles until cough cough. Lucky there was one station that saved the day. Talk about a Bubba running the joint. He had huge animal heads all over the station with a sign that said armed guard at night.  So happy to be back on the road.  We pulled over at another roadside KOA camp ground.  Huge oil storage tanks right in front of the campground on a gravel patch of dirt.  The ambiance was a bit overrated.   We continued towards Denver and had to skirt the massive flooding. I25 takes you by the front range where the roads were a mess and you could see the power of water. The entire day rained as we proceeded past these areas totally underwater. Such a terrible natural disaster.

We arrive in Denver,  meet up with the kids and head for our state park destination about 30 mins from downtown. Nothing ever goes smoothly. Squatters were on our site we had reserved. Had to call the rangers at 7 pm to resolve the issue. No fisticuffs.  So happy to be here for almost a week. Wally back East for business and I am enjoying my quiet time. Going to see the Rockies play tomorrow.

Miss you all!
