On the Road again...

Heading west on a beautiful Monday morning
 



 More trees turning


 Shadow of the orange coupe!
 It was just us and Troy & Donna.  Tom & Cindy and Gabe & Ciarra had motorhomes, so we left at different times. Our destination for the day - Wendover, UT


 Stopped in Grand Junction, CO to change the alternator. It only took 15 minutes


 We did hit another speed bump in SLC. 
Troy got a flat tire, ugh!  Triple A to the rescue again!  Fortunately, we were in a populated area, so we were close to a tire store.  Unfortunately, it was a populated area, so it was busy, and we had to wait forever to get it fixed.  But we did get it fixed, and the sun hadn't set yet, whew!
Bonneville Speedway!

Ahh, made it to Wendover, still in the daylight
 Next morning, we left a little later.  Some rain in the forecast, and we were surrounded by funky clouds.  We didn't get too wet though



 Reno!
 Yay!

Our west coast home!



 This cute little guy loves the orange coupe!
 Some photos from our friend Julie - us driving down the road :)
 and at the Hill Climb
 and climbing Mt Evans

Amazing Trip!  Always have a wonderful time with the Peckerheads.  Can't wait for our next adventure!!

Peak to Peak ride

 
Sunday morning - another beautiful day for a cruise!  This time, it was Peak to Peak  - ending at a restaurant in Estes Park for brunch (and then we had to find our own way home).

A little smaller group, as it was Sunday, and everyone goes home on Sunday.  But we still had 20 cars - so perfect for a mountain cruise








 Love this photo - the shadow on the mountain made by the cloud - looks like a ... whale!!




















I didn't take any photos of brunch (too busy eating :))  But we did see a beautiful church along the way.  Pope John Paul II prayed here.



It was just the 3 of us on the way back to Central City.  Ray & Julie had to head back to Reno early.  Gabe & Ciarra spent a relaxing day with Baby G.  And the other cruisers went their own way
We stopped at a couple 'antique' places on the way back


The guys always find something to check out - this time it was an old dump truck
Beautiful trees

Back at our hotel!  (it has an old train next to it - so cool!)
Then back to the campground for more Peckerhead fun



Good times & Good friends!
Back at the hotel...  Chris' alternator started acting up.  Fortunately, it wasn't too serious, so we would still be able to be on our way on Monday.
