mueller state park

Hi folks, Tom and I are still in Colorado at Mueller State Park visiting with our friends Mike and Judy, it has been a very busy day, we have lots of pictures and stories which I wil leave to Tom to write, he is the better story teller, but he is very tired tonight after a very busy day, but I wanted to write some news that we received today from my daugher Ashley, which Tom and I are very excited about we are going to be grandparents, Ashley gave me the news today so I told her I was going to put the news are our blog. Looking forward to the rest of our trip but I can't wait to see her. Tom will post more about our day later. Love to all Karen and Tom

Victor Colorado

Hi Folks. We are really starting to enjoy the trip. It takes a few days to get back into the groove. The satellite system went out. We had a repairman meet us along Rt 25 to repair it. We stopped outside the USAF Academy and watched the troops parachute and fly. It was a simple fix then we were on our way. It was hot in the Springs, 94. As we headed out of the Springs up 24 the temp dropped to 52 degrees. Our reservations at Mueller was to start the 28th. We tried to check in early - full. So we parked the rig in front of Mike and Judy's. The local police stopped to visit (they know Mike and Judy). We have run some beautiful trails and also did a long hike. Some of the views we have seen are just beautiful. Judy has several Fox that come for dinner every night. They were cute. We have been at altitude since we arrived. Fighting slight headaches. 9600 to 10600. We plan on hiking to 12500 on Tuesday. We are going to fish and Kayak tomorrow. We finally arrived Mueller. Our site is wonderful. Check out the view from our door. Anyway. You guys take care. Tom & Karen

Finally in Colorado

Hi Folks......It was a long drive. But well worth it. The greeting you receive entering Colorado from Kansas is kinda blah. When you enter the state from N.M its a large WOW - HOWDY.
Anyway we are here. Last night in Columbia is was to hot to go outside. We arrived at this remote park in Colorado, Bonny Lake. We got out of the truck and were eaten by mosquitoes. But the wildlife we viewed was worth the bites. Whitetail's, western wild turkey's, a family of raccoons, rabbits & big foot. We'll go to Colorado Springs in the morning. We will stay there one day. The next five days will be spent in Cripple Creek and Victor. Check them out on the web.

wheres Tom and Karen

Hi Folks,
It's been a while, but were back on the road again. After one year tom and I are back traveling with our home on wheels. It feels really good to be traveling again. We both missed it very much . We left Monday morning June. 22nd. We are headed for Colorado Springs Co. first than onto Wyoming, Montana and any where else we feel inclined to explore. Our first day out we made it just outside of Dayton, Ohio, we stayed the night in an RV park called Enon beach, that was a joke but it was a place to stay for 1 night, If you like listening to trains and trucks all night it was a great place to stay, we did manage to get some sleep. Day 2 we made it to Columbia Missouri, we stayed in a state park called Fingers Lakes State Park , very nice especially the quite, it was hot as *%^%$ 108 degree's with the heat index, thank goodness we have AC in the trailer, so we did get a good nights sleeps. That brings us to today, June 24th we got up early and got about a 4 mile run in before we headed down the road again. As I write this we just stoped for some lunch, we are almost to Topeka Kansas.
