We are NOT in that photo! We are hunkered down in our trailer. So, we'd been checking CDOT for road conditions on the way to Cortez, and we knew this would be a wet...
Wait a minute! Sam just popped out of the trailer and stuck his head back in and said, "It's snowing!"
So anyway, we knew that driving conditions would be bad. There are three ways to get to Cortez (which is clear right now), but they all involve going through a mountain pass. Last night, things still looked OK, but this morning, when we checked the CDOT cameras, we got a taste of reality. In other words, we are waiting it out here in "The Springs" for a bit. We'll keep everyone in the loop.
update -- here's our campsite at the moment... it's been raining for about 8 hours and there's a little snow mixed in.
Otherwise known as, The Clippah Went West...and Stayed There!
We took a road trip to the Southwest in October 2011. Life just wasn't the same after returning to Chicago, so we moved to Las Vegas in June 2014, acquired one more dog, and a couple more trailers!
This blog is dedicated to my Grandpa Norman, who made it his mission in (later) life to purchase and trade-in as many motor homes as he possibly could. We love you!
Whew! Thx for the reassurance!
