Colorado Springs- Last Stop

A long ride, we travel slower than these map predictions. There was wind on I-80 the day we traveled so we took this route that dropped south to I-70..

Karli’s look is just… well, Karli. Yes, it can be a bit of a challenge, but it’s all part of her charm—and not to be taken too seriously.

A big surprise was the Pueblo Riverwalk—an amazing path with restaurants lining the river.

This RV journey was almost exactly 6,500 miles long. There were definitely a few adventures along the way! When something goes wrong, Carol and I always say, “It’s part of the adventure.”

The freezer door fell off. The Arkansas wind ruined our awning. A small overhead light even fell out of its place. Fortunately, nothing too serious happened.So, Tuesday the Arctic Fox goes to RV Sales in Moriarty, NM to have bearings ,brakes and awning repair done.

Visiting Washington, D.C. and the Field Museum were the highlights of the trip for me. For Carol, camping in RV parks on the water was a top priority. We camped along the Arkansas River, the Mississippi River, the French Broad River in Tennessee, and on Lake Michigan in Indiana.

Living in New Mexico, where water is scarce, makes it easy to forget the importance of rivers in the United States. Rivers carry commerce, provide recreation, and hold a sense of mystery.

In the United States, the Mississippi will always stand as the father of all rivers.

Chile Fix

Finally, at Perea’s New Mexican Restaurant in Albuquerque, we get some huevos rancheros with green chile.
