We're heading out in two days for Colorado. 
First things first, she has a 3 day business conference in Colorado Springs at the swanky 5 star Broadmoor Resort. So while she is attending seminars, I'll be sitting in our suite, ordering room service and maybe getting a long overdue pedicure before sauntering down to the spa for a mudbath.
The following week we will be taking a scenic loop through the San Juan mountains in the SW corner of the state. On the itinerary are Lake City, Durango, Silverton, Ouray and Telluride. Then back east to Salida, to see her folks and to ski Monarch. We'll be gone for 10 days altogether.
Sadly, we are not anticipating doing much camping. In fact, I'm not even putting the camper on the truck for this trip. The weather in CO this time of year is too iffy for camping and most trails and campgrounds are closed anyway. Why waste the MPG's if we can't camp? In case we do have a decent night to spend outside, I am bringing our new roof top tent, which will serve as a cover for our stuff in the bed, more than a tent. I just sold my old truck topper two weeks ago, which would have been much more handy as a bed cover.
How we'll look, going down the road. Wave if you see us! -
If we get the chance to camp, we'll pop the top and crank up the electric blanket -
I'll be bringing my camera and taking notes, so perhaps I'll have some photos to share and maybe even something witty to say, when it's all said and done. It's good to go without the FWC on rare occasions. Makes us appreciate the camper that much more!
