Hey, it's March 30th. Time for the motorhome to come out of storage. It's sitting in the driveway awaiting some TLC. Can't wait for the first outing.

2012 Tiffin Allegro Bus

Well we made it home with our new motorhome. Just a few pictures to give you a quick look.

Saying Goodbye

Haven't posted in awhile. Been busy saying goodbye to our 2007 Tiffin Phaeton. Yes, we sold our first motorhome. It has been just an amazing unit and has taken us far and wide. Hope the new owners have as much fun with it as we did.

Oh! What's that you say? Yes, there is a new motorhome on the way. We leave to pick it up on Sunday September 18, 2011. It is a 2012 Tiffin Allegro Bus 43 QGP. I will post some pictures shortly after we take delivery.

Last Day in Estes Park, Colorado

Our last day at Estes Park found us doing some more hiking. This time it was to the Alluvial Fan. Once again our timing was just about perfect. The Big Horn sheep were on the move.

The afternoon hike took us to the Alberta Falls area. Just can't get enough of this amazing place.

Ghost Stories and Other Things

The Stanley Hotel. This is a 1909 structure built by F. O. Stanley as a place for he and his friends to get together for the summer. F. O. is of the Stanley Steamer car fame.

This is also where Stephen King stayed and acquired his inspiration for the book "The Shining". The original movie with Jack Nicholson wasn't filmed here, but King bought back the rights to the film from Stanley Kubrick and filmed the TV Mini Series of "The Shining" here.

This is the door to the famous room 217.

You'll need to watch the movie to understand.

But it is said that this room and some others have had some other worldly things going on in them.

We then made our way back up the mountain to the Alpine Visitors Center on Trail Ridge Road. The views are just indescribable.

Not much air up here at 12,000+ feet above sea level. Hiking takes on a whole new meaning.

Up in the tundra where nothing seems to grow, there is amazing beauty however small.

Oh, and did I mention, there is still a little snow up here in the middle of June!

Horse'n Around

I found us some horses,

I found me a cowgirl,

And over the river and through the woods we went. Some of us (me) got wet going through the river!

4 hours up Beaver Mountain.

Saw a lot more unbelievable scenery, but never did see grandma!

Golf With a View

The local golf course can provide for a nice morning outing.

But you need to know and follow the local rules.
