After settling down and resting after Kathy's Birthday we headed over to bike fest in Colorado Springs on the 28th and enjoyed a day of music and walking about enjoying the bikes, people. We even managed to pick up a few things there, some new riding gloves and flip flops for Kathy. We met Jason and the family down there along with Kimberly's father and wife. We had a great time and enjoyed the kids once more. We then invited the kids over to camp for a final barbeque and fire. Well we got the barbeque in bit the fire got rained out.

After a day and a half journey we settled into a campsite in Fountain about 10 miles south of Colorado Springs. Here we prepared our camper and stocked up on a few things before heading into the mountains. We also had a chance to take the bicycles to the Garden Of The Gods and pedal our way around the loop and enjoy the afternoon there.

We stopped in Colorado Springs to get some service work done on the motorcoach. While there, Tom found a new hobby...smoking! No, not that smoking. We found a portable smoker on the internet. It would take too long to have it shipped so we found a very helpful owner of a local store who drove to Denver, picked it up and sold it to us. Day 1 we smoked salmon. Tom took the ipad outside and read the Wall Street Journal while the smoker smoked! Well, we threw most of the salmon out but Princess insisted on tasting it too. She had the burpees all night after drinking gallons of water to wash down the "salt cured fish." Day 2 was football-Sunday. So I could blame my poor football picks on preoccupation with smoking ribs. But ... read more
