Longmont

Front range report. Drove back to the front range on Tuesday, checked out
Tiger Run in Breckenridge, but drove down to Dakota Ridge in Golden to spend
the night so we would miss the high country snowstorm. No snow in Golden.
Got the rain. We want to be on the north side for a few days to be close to
Becky and Brian and kids. Moved from Golden to Johnson’s Corner outside
Loveland, via Fort Lupton to get an emergency patch done on our hydro-hot
furnace. Caesar took good care of us and we have heat again. The
campground at Johnson’s corner is old, so it is nice and shady, the trees
have been there a long time, but it’s a little small for us. This camp was
built before motorhomes were forty feet long and had slides. A pretty spot,
but back-to-back sites, and not enough room for us to maneuver in and out.
One night there. Today we moved to the Boulder County Fairgrounds in
Longmont. No fairs going on right now. Not a fancy place, but fifty amp
hookups and a dump station onsite. Tomorrow night we get to baby-sit all
the kids while Becky and Brian go out for a quiet dinner. We’re hoping
they’ll come back after.

Montrose

When we were in Montrose a week ago, we traded in the Jeep and the Honda for
a new Jeep. They couldn’t get the tow gear for the new Jeep in time, so we
left, driving separately, for the job in Cortez. After the job in Cortez,
we could drive back to Montrose and give the Jeep back to the dealer for one
more day while they put the tow gear on the front. From Montrose we got to
drive off together, towing the Jeep, back to the front range. We thought we knew what our schedule looked like for the next couple months,
but things change. We’ll go hug the kids for a few days and decide when and
how to get Judy out to California with her mom. She could just fly out
there and leave me here, but that’s not how we usually do things.
