The first leg (457 miles) can be simply summed up in one word: RAIN.
We got up at 7:30, and pulled out less than a half hour late. We had the fortune to say a final goodbye with Rob and Sue (we will miss you!) and went to fill Propane. OK, so the gas station had no one there that knew how to run the Propane pumps, and .. oh .. OK, the huge propane tank in the lot ended up being empty .. but OK, we got on the road anyway and here we go.
It was 39 degrees when we left and we paid for the E470 route and turned in our transponders along the way.
It started to rain just before Limon, CO and at Kanorado the wind was strong and gusting out of the north. Then the wind shifted dramatically and the temperature rose over 20 degrees in less than three miles. ... wow! ... I've never expereinced a weather shift like this before; ever.
The temperature changed so fast that the cold glass of the windshield fogged up on the outside when the moist warmer air condensed onit. I had to turn the wipers up all the way so we could see.
Then it rained .. and rained and blew, and rained some more. Simply awesome.
We found the RV park, set up quickly and had dinner (thanks Robin!!).
Tomorrow we head for Missouri. Hopefully it will dry out a bit.
Now
Now, if you'll pardon me, I need to kill a few mosquitos :)
