Today we are going camping up by Rocky Mountain National Park. Camping is an optimal word in this case in that we just purchased a tent trailer land no longer will be sleeping on the ground in a tent. We also will be staying a couple nights in a tourist type camp grounds just outside of the town of Estes Park.
Traveling through the Colorado mountains you will continually encounter signs that say "Falling Rock" and over the years many cars have been crushed by Falling boulders the size of Greyhound buses, when this happens it can really ruin one's day. At the same time we laugh at the signs with silly comments about how big Falling Rock Colorado must be and "best break out the rock umbrella." "The striped one or the pokadot one?"
Anyway this is a small price for spending time in our favorite place in the entire world, the Rocky Mountains.
This is a short break
from my story No Bears Left Behind, since we won't be back to Denver
for a few days and in order to write fiction creatively it is best not
to have one's thoughts on other things.
Today
I am introducing the average American family road trip tourists. They
are the Harvey family and they come from Flatland USA Topeka, Kansas.
Actually I am sort of surprised there are still people living in Kansas
in that it seems like they have all moved to Denver. Everyone in
Colorado seems to have migrated from somewhere else and as such takes a
wee bit of time getting used to driving in our mountains. No guard
rails and lots of wild critters blocking the highways can be a real
learning experience.
