Colorado!

We sadly left Cheyenne and in less than half an hour we were in Colorado.  Somehow the grasses seemed greener just across the border and the road shoulders were strewn with sunflowers.



Lots of flatland for agriculture - pinto beans are a big crop along with, of course, corn!  Miles of fields and many big grain towers.  We have promised ourselves that someday we will learn how they work.  In the town of Nunn we came across a camper trailer graveyard - had to stop for photos and send them to Ronnie, our renovator extraordinaire.







There were also about 20 Studebaker Larks in various stages of disrepair.  You never know what you will discover on back roads.

Passed by Denver and it rained on us - first time we have had to drive in the rain in over four weeks.  Maybe that is why the grasses are greener?  On I 70 the traffic got heavier - everyone is on their way to wonderful places!  And the scenery got prettier.









Arrived in Vail and parked Hilda in a free lot and found our friends' address.  Their condo is in the heart of Vail and here is the evening view from our room:


 
Their living room looks out to the Gondola to the mountain top!  Thought I would like to move here but the altitude is not being nice to me...  Could I adapt?

Here are the views from the mountain top where we had brunch today.





So back to my favorite things to photograph:



I would love to have one of these in South Carolina!

We leave Vail tomorrow and will be in Santa Fe for two nights.
