Good Morning World!

 

June 28^th 5.27am MST

It’s way early but I wanted to get things organized and pictures off for today’s trip.  Today we are going to do some easy trails before hitting the Jeep badge trails.  At least that’s what I heard what we were doing.  This might change due to weather or conditions.  As for the names of these trails, I forgot.  But I will make note when we do them.

 

Last night I had a charging fest with the electronics.  This is the list of things:

• Gopro batteries
• Kodak video camera
• Drone
• Battery backup
• SLR
• Walkie talkies
• Our phones, obviously

 

I am also going to try using a waist pack instead of carrying my purse.  I took it yesterday to the waterfall and my shoulder is killing me.  Thank goodness for motrin! The internet at this KOA is poor but hey, who cares. This is why I type my thoughts on words and then I will adjust the time/date when I can. 

 

I did have a bit of light-headedness when we arrived into Ouray and walking about the town sightseeing.  We stopped for ice cream and when I sat down, I felt kind of off.  This was, after, we walked the trail to the waterfall and it was hard but I did it with the help of my friends and John.  Zeke is doing ok with all the driving and whatnot.  I hope he is not feeling too bad with the thinner air.  I packed him some bully sticks for this trip to help with the ear popping and nerves.  I know they are going to smell but that’s what you do for your pups. 

 

Backtrack….The drive from Michigan to Colorado wasn’t too bad once we got out of the crazy city drivers but then the RV had to deal with the mountains.  The beastly was trying to get up those inclines.  Speaking of beastly, we did finally name her!  Her name is Cocoa Jo. Why that name? She’s a Coachmen and a brown color (Cocoa) and Jo…well John likes to name everything with the middle name Jo.  She will always be known to me as beastly.

 

Onto my second cup of coffee, charging my fitbit and watching the sunrise here in Ouray.  This morning, I am making breakfast for the crew.  We are having sausage gravy with biscuits and dinner is steak sandwiches.  I am hoping to stay up a little later tonight but being up so early this morning, and then with the crazy heights of these trails…I guess we will see.  This is not our typical camping but so worth it!  So I will close this entry with see you later with our adventures trail riding! Scared out of my mind but so looking forward to it!

 

A presto!!
