Today, we got ready. Tomorrow, we leave for Villa Grove in the San Luis Valley. We work with a land trust there. Problem is, winter is happening in the high country. It’s March. Spring is almost here, but winter hasn’t left yet. We’ll drive south as far as Pueblo. From there it’s another 120 miles mostly west to get to the client. Judy can monitor upcoming road conditions on her computer while we’re driving. We’ll stop whenever conditions dictate. I can start work on the job, even if we’re not all the way there. That’s today’s plan, anyway.
Carbondale
We’re back to our house (the motorhome) at Dakota Ridge in Golden. It is so good to be home. But since we drove back and forth across the Continental Divide, you know what that means… One more picture. You know what it is. You can barely see it, but it’s there. Dillon Lake in the mist.
Carbondale
We left Carbondale. We drove the Jeep there and stayed in a hotel so we wouldn’t have to drive back and forth across the divide in the motorhome in bad weather. So, of course, the weather was just fine the whole time we were there. It was fine right up until it was time to leave. The weather we drove back to Denver in was the reason we didn’t take the motorhome there. Snow, teens, fog, whiteout, snowpack, slush, splashback. A driving adventure. It all cleared up right at Denver. Dry roads. No problem.
Chairs
But the new ones…. They are soo comfortable. The bottom seat cushion adjusts forward and back. Everything else adjusts too. Seat up, down, tilt, forward, back. Seat back tilt. Power headrest, who needs a power headrest? Lumbar support and heat. They didn’t give us an operator’s manual. I’m still looking for the slot to put quarters in so I can lie down and get the magic fingers massage.
Chairs
The old chairs were nice enough. Big. Comfortable. They just didn’t fit us right.
