Tuesday, September 21st. We're on the road again, heading for Greeley, Colorado to attend the Golden Retriever Nationals. Had to make a few repairs to the rig before leaving: straightened the main rafter for the awning (which got bent while we were in Glacier National Park), and installed a stronger metal bar for the spare tire holder (the old one bent in half! Probably from the tire bouncing against it.).
Over Pachecho Pass -- always one of my favorite views. Good four-lane road, perfect weather. Picked up I-5 near Santa Nella and drove north. The hills to our west are golden-colored this time of year, and with the afternoon shadows it's beautiful. Crossed over to Hwy 99 and then turned off a side road to pick up Hwy 88 through the mountains. So many of the little towns up there are enticing and "begging" for a visit, but that'll have to wait until another trip. By the time we reached the ski area of Kirkwood, the sun was setting and we were treated to a magnificent sunset!
It was dark (but not late) when we arrived at our first stop: the Silver City RV Resort in Minden, NV. By the time we got the rig set up, the dogs walked (always a priority!) and fed, we both were starving...fortunately, Dawn had pre-made a delicious meatloaf before we left home, so dinner was fairly easy. We plan to get an early start tomorrow.
