Almost There...

Ah, at last, we are almost at our destination in Colorado! It sure is nice to have someone who can share the driving too - someone that doesn't scare the be jezers out of you while cruising down the road.

Ah ha - our first view of snow capped mountains in Colorado! This is what it was all about - escaping the blazing heat of Texas. Snow on the mountains in July!



































Then we made it up to Monarch Pass and the Continental Divide. What was really cool about Tred driving was that I got to view all the scenery out the window - especially the long winding road up and down from Monarch Pass.

























































When we arrived in Gunnison Colorado, we had to stop and do the shopping for the trip. I think we spent a little over $100 on food - plus probably another $100 on liquor and beer. Tred learned that there are two types of beer in Colorado - the kind they sell in grocery stores is 3.2 alcohol content and you get the "good stuff" from liquor stores.

Gunnison is a nice little town. Might not be too bad to live there - during the summer. I imagine the winters are frightfully cold and bitterly snowy.



































We're getting really close now... Narrow windy roads.




































Well, we're almost there... See you on down the road...
