***ALL REPORTS ARE UP AND READY FOR VIEWING***

We left Indiana on 9/9/2020 and returned home on 10/9/2020. One month on the road, away from Covid-19 and Politics. This was our longest trip and good for the soul. 4,663 miles, fourteen (14) mountain passes, Rocky Mountain National Park, Trail Ridge Road multiple times, 4 Colorado State Parks, Forest Service campgrounds, BLM campground, dispersed camping, and a couple of Harvest Host Wineries / Breweries on the way home.

We visited Steamboat Springs, Grand Lake, Georgetown, Aspen, Lake City, Telluride, Ridgway, Crested Butte, and Creede.

Hope to start posting our blog in the coming weeks.

There are Six Parts and I will be adding them here:

Part One
Part Two
Part Three
Part Four
Part Five
Part Six


Enjoy. Lots of free time when you are 100% retired. Remember you can click on the photos to enlarge them.

JD, we sure enjoyed your trip story and photos! The aspens are great and it looks like your timing was just right for color. That was quite a trip and you visited many wonderful places. We even recognized a few of them. :)  What a great time. Thanks for sharing with us! :)
