Colorado 2017

Looks like we are going to Colorado again this year.
Right now it appears that I will be leaving July 29th to Limon Co. Hang there for a while to refresh and get lightly acclimated, and then meet up with Chad for lunch, then head up into the mountains.
Alternative 1: I may start heading to the mountains to get a campsite locked down mid morning on the 30th
Alternative 2: I may eat pancakes at the KOA, relax, and load up slowly then work my way up to Cripple Creek, or Georgetown and explore.
Alternative 3: I may win the lottery, fly my new helicopter to Desco, buy a jeep off of the lot, and a small chateau up on the mountain, and the local Dairy Queen.

I don't like my ice cream that cold and hard. I like soft serve. LOL!! In fact, I might have to ask them to microwave it for me.


Plus Dairy Queen has better burgers than Cold Stone.

Didn't win the lottery yet, so looks like Options 1 and 2 are still on track.

Not sure I can afford to go that far with my current salary of 60 dollars a week, unless I skip out on all of the other trips that I have in mind. Maybe they rent Jet powered sand boats? I could maybe afford to go if I didn't have to pull a trailer up.

So 5 weeks would pay for 3 hours.


I may change my mind..


Of course its still cheaper than hauling my junk up there, breaking it and still having to haul it home.
