Colorado Trip: Day 6

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

Started day @ 5:30am mountain time in Boulder, CO. We headed up through Wyoming to Keystone, SD. Heidi had never seen the “four faces” in person, so we stopped by to check it out. Here is Heidi crushing the head of George Washington!

I think the ice cream cone was more exciting [...]

Getting into the park and into Moraine campground was a breeze.  20$ for us, 20$/night to camp.  Great deal.  Our campsite was on Loop B, very quiet, great view.  Here is a shot right behind our campsite:

We didn’t [...]

Colorado Trip: Day 1

Monday, June 9th, 2008

Heidi and I woke up at 3:30am in Owatonna.  On the road by 4:00am!  We could summarize most of the ride as crappy.  Throughout southern MN and all of Iowa it was raining, at times a down pour.  Nebraska was, well, Nebraska.  Pretty boring.
13 hours in all with a few quick stops and a nap [...]
