It was an eventful trip out west. We left Michigan on May 18th promptly at 7am. It started out good but in Indiana our toad tried to get away! The steel bumper brackets tore off on one side. I attached a pic. Ron had to leave me after a local place welded the bumper back on temporarily and make it to Denver by 8:30am to have the custom bumper reattached properly for the wheeling we were going to do for a week in Moab. Unfortunately, the winch was fried but luckily we didn't need it this trip. Moab weather was the suck. We had to cancel to trails for the event (GoneMoab). Cold and raining. Most people said its never been like that in the 10+ years its been going on. We still had fun. We left Moab and headed to Ouray, Co. Had to finalize some wedding plans and meet the Father that will marriage us.
Ouray was chilly too but the heater worked, THANK GOD! I actually thanked Him each night for a working coach and making it safely. Ouray was nice for a couple of days and then we left for Pagosa Springs, Co for a few days. Amazing views from the coach. That part I loved. We were on 550 for most of it which can be a little tense if you are thinking about falling off of the cliffs. Really nice drive if you focus on the views and are NOT driving! Attached are some pics. We also rode the motorcycles over Wolf Creek Pass. On the way back it rained on us then snowed then rained on us again. That was the suck also. We had to slow WAY down and turn our flashers on so the semi's didn't run us over. That was pretty tense. The hot springs were nice, Pagosa Springs was a really nice town. I recommend a visit. I think we figured out a toilet leak on the trip and we had a flood when we took in the slide out. It had rained heavily and water pooled on the top of it and flowed into the coach as we brought it in. Took all of our dog towels to dry up. That too, was the suck. I think everything else worked OK. Met some great people along the way. I think I spoke to just about everybody I came across now that I think of it!! lol
