Yea, yikes, yahoo!! Peter and I are definitely "on the road". This is some life, very different from the usual household we left behind! We've just completed 8 days and have met loads of interesting people, made our one mistake a day (yesterday's was a $195 lesson....our large slide-out would not come in when we were ready to leave so we called a mobile RV repair person who told us these things are supposed to be siliconed, etc. on their tracks every few weeks......so what do we know? Anyway, all is well and we left CO Springs for Cheyenne yesterday where we are now....in a great funky RV park....no frills but sort of out in the country, with full hook-ups which, for you uninformed, means water, sewer and 50 amp electricity on site. I've included, hopefully, some pix of us at the top of Pike's Peak (14,110 ft...yikes!) where we drove the jeep (not the RV!) and had their world-famous donuts and hot chocolate..it even snowed a bit! We also visited the AF Academy...very awesome! Our first nite stop was in Truth or Consequences, NM....at one tim named Hot Springs but changed the name when Ralph Edwards of the TV show offered any town that would change it's name to T or C a visit and regalia parade, etc. once a year...which he did! We then spent 2 days in Santa Fe, where we had a visit with Peter's cousin, Howard, and then up to Taos Pueblo.....oh so interesting and very beautiful country.
Well everybody, more later as we progress! Peter and I still love each other, too!
