Patty:
Yesterday evening we found ourselves in a dust storm. Apparently, a local farmer decided to plow his dry field in 15 mph winds and, unfortunately for us, our campground was in direct line of the dust. The sky darkened and EVERYTHING got covered in a fine layer of dust. When we went to bed, Gavin found that he was having trouble breathing. After some time deep in the night,.we finally had sleep in the front passenger seat of the Jeep to keep him in an inclined position. He slept fairly well for the rest of the night, but we he woke up he wasn’t sure whether he could ride or not. After breakfast, even though he was still congested, he felt well enough to try. He made it through the whole ride.
Kevin:
Today we got on the road at about 8:40 am and had another day of great riding weather and good roads. We picked up some altitude today, starting at 4200 and ending at 4600. We took a long break at
Patty:
I arrived at Collier, picked out our campsite, and got things set up. Gavin and Kevin arrived about 20 minutes later. We have had a beautiful sunny day to explore. We had a great time playing with the very friendly chipmunks. Gavin had names for several of them: Theodore, Alvin, Chip, Dale, and Pip. As you can see from the pictures, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves
