On the drive from Spearfish to Colorado. In the Black Hills
Today we traveled from Spearfish SD to Estes Park. We saw some beautiful scenery in the Black Hills. The usual flat, dry, boring land in most of Wyoming.

There were views of mountains in the distance. Lobelia and Podo saw the Kingdom of Mordor from Wyoming. It looked menacing. Now that we're in it, it is not so bad. We have a good campsite the next two nights. This one is not so good, It's like having strangers in your living room. Also, there are horses next door. /Their manure stinks. Podo says it's because they eat meat and swig whiskey on the trail. Tomorrow we move, but will not have WIFI, so it is doubtful if I can post new pictures.

We are currently in the Starbucks in Estes Park, charging the phones, etc. and on the "innernet".

We switched campsites to a Federal National Forest Compground. We didn't want to bother trying to get a campsite in the Park. It is very nice. It was pouring out, so hopefully our tent is OK.

We went actual hiking today to some Lakes near Bear Lake. We took a bus up from the main

Tomorrow we are going on a hike early so we can see Elks.

Shane has not attempted the clutch lately. I haven't tried to get a hold of Arvid yet. We are on the move south tomorrow.
