Salt Lake City to Loveland, Colorado

We finally made it to Colorado. Actually, I think we were blown here! Driving thru Wyoming was quite exhilarating, 55 mph winds made us a little jumpy but we were glad it was a tail wind! We had a bit of frustration in Salt Lake City. We had a water leak in the grey water tank and a diesel leak in the gas tank. Also had the gennie and rig serviced and our rear bin door repaired. The grey water tank has a crack on the top of the tank and only leaks when it gets too full. Because of the cost, we decided to live with it. In order to put in a new one, that the insurance might or might not cover, they had to drop the tank and install the new one to a tune of about $2000. The gas tank was another story tho. They couldn't fix it because it was sitting on the frame of the motor home. They would have had to send it out and we decided to find our own facility. The only place that is equipped to do it was a truck repair place. Because it sat on part of the chassis, and it was leaking from the bottom where it sat on the chassis, it had to be removed, emptied, steamed, dried and then welded. Sooooooo, needless to say, we needed to find a place where we had somewhere to stay during this ordeal. We have no clue as to the cost, but it was something we couldn't just live with, especially with the price of diesel. We are in Loveland, Colorado now, staying at friends who have a mini-ranch! It's actually a bit of paradise here. They are on 3.5 acres with enuff room that there are no close neighbors and it's very quiet with some visits from elk, mtn lions now and then and sometimes a bear or two. As we drove in, we noticed that the pasture on the corner had a new tenant! He is 4 days old and the cutest thing around!!

He was born with those bangs!! 

Never knew how soft a baby burro could be!!


We arrived about 5 minutes before Carol and Diane were leaving for pickleball, so naturally, i had to join them.

We have many we will be visiting while here in Colorado, since we haven't spent much time here in the last few years. We plan on spending at least a month and one or 2 pickleball tournaments. Looking forward to seeing old friends and family.

I mentioned earlier that Nan had a new hobby. Here are a few of her projects! Who says dumpster diving isn't good fun!



Hope everyone is having a great summer so far, and hope everyone is safe and healthy and keep on laughin!!!!
