On July 4th - Lesson Learned (#723,894)

I still have a lot to learn about listening to Toni.  When we were leaving the campground this morning, Toni says, as she usually does, "Do you know how to get away from here?"

Sure, I said and commenced to turn the wrong way out of our site.  It turned out that the route I took was straight into a dead end street.  Wow was I aggravated.  When you are towing a vehicle behind a MH, you can't back up so I had to unhook the Jeep, back it up, back the MH up, and go a different direction.  I started to just leave the Jeep in Amarillo but I calmed down pretty quickly and hooked it back up.

When we got over to Pueblo, CO (325 miles), the campground was pretty bad so we decided to go on to Buena Vista (another 125 miles).  It should have been only 96 miles but our handy GPS took us through the most gosh awful road and we finally arrived.  Toni took several pictures along the way.......a lot of which were of trains.

This is one really long train.  You may have to enlarge these to get an idea of what they are.


             We saw a bunch of BNSF cars sitting on side rails.  We think we will call them and let        them know where they are.



   More lost BNSF rail cars.  I wonder if there is an award for whomever finds them.




  Miles and miles of nothingness.  It would have been really boring if it had not have been for the strong wind trying to blow us off the road.



            Lots of snow fences!  Poor cows.



  We think this is a shot of the original central US pony express headquarters.


    
And finally, we were in Colorado.   Along here is where the motor home started having a good workout, both going down and climbing.




   It is almost cold here and it is raining.  I figure if you read this junk, you are totally bored so maybe we can do better with future posts.
