We are fixed and back on the road with our new alternator (whatever that is). Cheyenne, WY was interesting but we have places to go and birds to see. We left Cheyenne and traveled due west to Laramie because the humans wanted to see the Wyoming Territorial Prison where Butch Cassidy and a bunch of other outlaws were incarcerated. On the way there we went over the pass on I-80 and there was snow on the sides of the road! (I didn’t think I’d be seeing snow anytime soon but I was sitting behind my Dad’s head and there it was.)

After their visit (and our nap) we continued on our way and actually went east back over the pass to Cheyenne and then south to Loveland, CO.  

We weren’t thrilled with our stay at the Riverview RV Park because the sites were too close together and there were other RVs blocking our view of the wildlife. Mom and Dad liked their visit to the Rocky Mountain National Park and then Estes Park for lunch right on the Big Thompson River. They told us that they saw lots more snow on the peaks up in the park.

Then yesterday we left that boring campground and drove less than an hour to a new one in Fort Collins, CO. The Fort Collins Lakeside KOA is much nicer. In fact, I think it’s the nicest KOA kampground that we’ve ever been in. There are all sorts of birds in the tree right next to our bus and the weather today is perfect - 70, sunny and a bit of a breeze. It’s a good day to relax!
