Rocky Mountain National Park, 2016

Like a vintage roll of film

Let's not even talk about the fact that these photos were taken two months ago.  Or the fact that I haven't written in over a year.  But like a vintage roll of film, the one that you lost in the bottom of your 1980s carry-on bag, I stumbled across our 2016 summer vacation pictures and have to share them before they are lost.

This is the first summer that we vacationed for a full 14 days.  Most summers we cram too much into 7 days.  This year we took a full two weeks and flew to Omaha, Nebraska.  Yes Omaha.

There we grabbed the only not-booked RV in the Midwest (not kidding) and set off for Colorado.

Northeast Colorado feels like an old Western.  We spent two days in Sterling, Colorado.  Home of, ... well, ... nothing.   About an hour west we found the Pawnee National Grasslands.  Every road in the grasslands is a minimum maintenance road and most recommendations were to travel there by Jeep or 4 wheeler.  Nope.  We traveled there by rented RV.

PS.  Don't ever buy a rental RV.

Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”
