Looks great Al! I'm happy for you and yours. Stay safe and healthy and, most of all; ENJOY your own schedule and freedom!
I am envious. We were just talking yesterday about our desire to go on a long road trip out that way. We want to visit my Dad in the Denver area, and Carols' best friend in the San Francisco area. Just don't own a camper or the right vehicle to pull it.

The vehicle part can be a real problem in the scheme of things. Im one who doesnt think I need a new vehicle to pull a newer trailer. My old 2006 Dodge dually does a great job and its been babied by yours truly. Ive updated it to present times with a bluetooth radio and big screen. It has all the fancy stuff in it like the new ones. Ive also added a pac brake to the engine which is worth its wait in gold in the mountains and on long downhills. I get comments on the truck all the time along with if you ever want to sell that truck look me up. Its not for sale but thanks for the nice comments. Im blessed to have what I have and now I have time to enjoy it.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Yes, that is a nice set-up you have there.
I think they should have given you on of those KW's though! :lol: but you would have to paint your camper orange! :D

Here is some sights today from my 34 mile bike ride. I rode to Glenwood Springs and back. First shot is on the way to Glenwood and the next 2 are on the way back from Glenwood to Carbondale. The third shot is Mt Sopris. Its up there at 12500 plus feet. We are camped at the base of it. The bike ride was just awesome and I will be going the other direction next time I go out. Towards Basalt. Stay tuned for more photos.

Looks like a dedicated bike path. If so, that's great!

It is a dedicated path I believe alot of it was built on old railroad bed.
