There is no way to describe the Rocky Mountains National Park to do it justice. The aspens are turning, gold, orange, occasional red.
Driving though, we were still enjoying the care package from Brian and Gina.
We camped just outside at Lake Granby. We had purchased sleeping bags (thanks, Greg!) at our favorite emporium. Camp was set up in time to enjoy grand vistas, etc.
There was no water at camp, which meant no bathrooms, a fact that came to our awareness after our tent was set up and we found out the pit toilet at the boat ramp was 1/8 mile away. No worries, until the wee hours of the morning when nature demands the return of the fruit of the vine. It got down to about 32, and we had frost on our gear. We also had a nice cool walk at 3 am. But – the stars were fantastic, the Milky Way clearly visible.

We drank wine and ate rice and beans, cherry tomatoes and peppers from Gleasons, and read old dialogue books until dark by a roaring fire. I don’t want to part with the dialogue books. In an intensely personal way, they describe our journey from hallway sex to powerful love. (Hallway sex is part of a joke, not printable. Call for details).
Now we are headed for Flaming Gorge recreation area.
