AT LAST----I-70!!

OUR INTERNET CONNECTIONS AND TIME TO BE ON THE INTERNET HAVE BEEN SPOTTY AT BEST, THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS.

AS I SAID BEFORE WE'VE DONE ALL THE INTERSTATE HI WAYS FROM THE MIDWEST TO THE WEST EXCEPT INTERSTATE 70. WE STAY AWAY FROM THIS INTERSTATE BECAUSE OF IT'S DIRECT ROUTE UP OVER THE ROCKIES PULLING A CAMPER. THE "SPRINT" WITH THE HONDA LET US TAKE THE I-15 OUT OF VEGAS AND THE I-70 ACROSS UTAH AND WESTERN COLORADO TO DENVER.

IT WAS SPECTACULAR AND THESE WINDSHIELD SHOTS DON'T DO IT JUSTICES.

THERE ARE SEVERAL BEAUTIFUL STRETCHES WHERE YOU DRIVE ALONG THE COLORADO RIVER THROUGH THE CANYONS, AND NARROW STRETCHES OF MOUNTAIN PASSES. SEVERAL TUNNELS WHERE YOU DRIVE THROUGH THE MOUNTAIN AND COME OUT ON THE OTHER SIDE.

THE BIG TUNNEL IS THE EISENHOWER TUNNEL AND IT WAS AMAZING. TWO MILES LONG AND I'M NOT SURE OF THE CHANGE IN ELEVATION.

OUR HOSTS IN DENVER WERE THE COLORADO KIDS, AND ALTHOUGH I'M NOT TO SURE ABOUT THEIR TASTE IN MUSIC :-), WE CERTAINLY ENJOYED THEIR BEAUTIFUL HOME, OUTDOOR PATIO, AND VISIT.

AS YOU CAN SEE THEY WERE KINDA ENOUGH TO TAKE US OUT TO A BAR AND GRILL WITH AN OUTDOOR PATIO TO ACCOMMODATE REX THE SMOKER.

HERE IS MARY GETTING A DEMO RIDE IN JEANNIE'S BRIGHT (PULL ME OVER) RED AUDI.

WE REALLY ENJOYED OUR DENVER STOP, AND THANKS DAVE & JEANNIE !!!

NEXT STOP OMAHA, NE. DID YOU KNOW THAT MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL IS NOW A DOUBLE HEADER? THAT MEANS THERE IS AN EARLY GAME AND A LATE GAME, JUST LIKE SUNDAY AFTERNOON. THE PACKERS AND THE VIKINGS ARE THE EARLY GAME, SO AFTER 540 MILES ON THE ROAD WE STOPPED.

IT'S ONLY HALF-TIME AS I'M WRITING THIS, BUT THAT RODGERS PASS IN THE FIRST HALF LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE A BART STARR "HAIL MARY" PASS FROM THE '60'S!!!

HEY, IS IT "SUNNY & 80" AT HOME?
