Boulder, CO

We left Glenwood Springs, CO at approximately 9:00a.m. on Wed. May 23rd.

We stopped for a ride on the Georgetown Loop Railroad and then drove on up to Longmont, CO.

We stayed at the Boulder County Fairgrounds in Longmont from Wed. to Wed.  We chose this campground because it was the closest one to my sister's place in Boulder.

FUNNNNNN!

My sister, Mary, made delicious breakfast burritos before going to the Memorial Day Race "Bolder Boulder".  It is a 10K which attracts many world class/olympic runners, as well as 3/4 the population of Boulder.

And then we parked the pickup trucks just on the east side of Boulder, took our bikes out and rode the bikes the rest of the way to the University football stadium.  The bike path was awesome.  We must have gone 5 miles minimum into the middle of the city and didn't cross any streets.  They built the bike path to pass under the streets.  Bob & I really had no idea where we were but we followed Dave & Mary.  Problem?  Mary & Dave would be leaving the stadium early because they had a tee off time to get to.  So Bob & I followed the bike path back east with many intersections & T intersections to choose from, but we made it back to our pickup truck with just a little mess up.  The last 1/2 mile we were suppose to turn & we went straight.  Thank goodness Bob looked up and said, "the truck is over there." Pointing to the right.  It was suppose to be on our left.  Oh, well.

We left Longmont this a.m. and arrived for a 2 night stay in Scottsbluff, NE.

We are staying at the Riverside Campground in Scottsbluff.  It's really kind of nice sitting right next to a river.  We'll sightsee around the area tomorrow and then pack up again of Friday and head for the Black Hills/Badlands area.
