Day one. The It'll Do is cleaned, packed and ready to go! Our first stop is LaVeta, Colorado. Let the adventure begin!
Bishop Castle
I just couldn't make myself head straight home this morning. I needed one last adventure. I have heard for years about Bishop Castle but had never seen it in person. This castle is in Rye, CO in the San Isabel Nat'l Forest. The castle was built mostly by one eccentric anti-government guy over the last …
Last Night
So I came back to my campsite last night to find the belongings I left there GONE! It was dark, but I wandered to the neighboring site to ask if they had seen anyone take my stuff. They pointed out a site right behind mine that had an "unsavory" group of people who had set …
A good day in Cuchara
The Funster and I came into town this morning and hung out with a great family from Hutchinson, Kansas. I received a lashing from them and a few locals about my lack of concern about the bears. Okay, I will take better precautions tonight!!! We hung out at Bear Lake for awhile then relaxed at …

So Long Lake City…
....but not goodbye. I left Lake City this morning with a bit of a heavy heart. I fell in love with the town but mostly with the people. My new friends Dave (Dave has many claims to fame but one of them is that he once played with REO Speedwagon back in their heyday!) and …
Part deux
So I pulled up my big girl panties and left Silverton to finish the other half of the Alpine Loop. Only this time, I decided to change my attitude. Rather than question whether or not I could do it, I cranked the music and enjoyed every minute of it. It was amazing. Awesome is an …
My so called friends…
....sent me on an adventure today. It's called the Alpine Loop. They made it sound so lovely. "It's a bit rocky" they said. OhmyGodOhmyGodOhmyGodOhmyGod! At first it was indeed lovely. Then I thought "oh, I think I need to put it in 4WD. This will be fun!" Um, it was crazy. Most people were in …
