2012 - June 18-Trenton, NE to Loveland, CO

It was only a 235 mile drive today and with the time change, we gained an hour, so we got to the park about 2:30pm with the temperature hovering between 100 and 102 degrees. The humidity is only 10%, so that helps.

On the way into Loveland, I snapped a few pictures of the Smokey, er, I mean Rocky Mountains. There is a lot of smoke from the forest fire all along the mountain range, but here in Boyd Lake State Park, it's smoke free. The fire is about 30 miles from here, and the helicopters are flying from the fire to Boyd Lake (here) to get water.

We couldn't believe how it started cooling down between 8:00 and 8:30 when the sun went down. I took a few more pictures and our neighbor gave us some firewood so we could enjoy a fire before turning in. It's 10:45 now, 75 degrees outside and going down! We opened the new window for a nice breeze to sleep by.


It's only about 20 miles from here to the rally site in Ft. Collins. Check-in time is noon so we won't be in a big hurry to leave here in the morning. See you there!
