We arrived...after a long drive. Took about 1.5 hours longer than planned to get here (8hrs), but all was safe. The mountain passes were slow moving uphill, we could maintain about 45, but we were speed restricted to 35 going downhill...and we can understand why! We had several stretches of downhill w/ 7% grade for over 7 miles. The rig, made good use of its exhaust brake...kept us below 40 without touching the brakes. Amazing views all along the way! Mi Hyon drove for a couple hours to help out...2 hours is about all she can take. The RV park at Moab is about 1 mile from Arches NP and 5 from Canyon Lands and 102 degrees HOT! "but it's a dry heat ;-) Today we hit arches and words are not enought to describe the ... read more

Today was a fun day! We started it with bacon, eggs, and grilled cheese cooked on the grill. That is Mike's contribution to the dinner plan. We used up the rest of the bacon with BLTs for lunch. Tonight is Chicken Parmeasean. After breakfast we headed out on our travels and Maggie got to stay in the rig for a nap. Our first stop of the morning was the AF Academy Cadet Chapel, what an amazing building and a beautiful icon for the academy. Then it was on to Pikes Peak...snow capped pikes peak! Mi Hyon loved the sights from 14110 feet, it was snowing on one side of the mountain and sunny on the other. Pictures just don't do justice to the vistas from the top. We were lucky to be up there since they ... read more

It was a fiarly uneventful trip from Wakeeney to Co Springs, we attached a couple pictures to give you an idea of our view, and what a view...like the song says "we could see for miles and miles". The down side is, guess you could say there wasn't much to see in those miles. Going into Colorado our the Rig dropped from 8.5 MPG to 8.4, not too bad considering we went from about 300 feet to about 6000. It was another windy day, but sunny with barely a cloud in the sky. Finally we made it to our first destination the AF Academy, and early...only 1400. The down side is the Academy closed the road we needed to travel on to get the FamCamp, for a bike race, and did not plan to reopen it ... read more
