We’re in Boulder – not a lot of time on the clock for blogging. Will be uploading a LOT of pictures later.

Where the Hell is my Window Seat?
CTG is unhappy with his seating arrangements, and doesn’t get to go out on hikes, either. He gets to stay back in the room when we go out for gourmet meals, too. Not too happy a camper is Crash Test Goofy, but then he’s only along for the ride.
Sending pictures to the blog is interesting, but not easy to do without a few more things set up in advance. Also, damn Verizon and their stupid added advertising text. That’s the first thing that’s going to get macroed out of existence as soon as I get some decent access.
Tonight CTG will be happy with the accomodations – we’re in Boulder. Tomorrow, he’ll be somewhat roughing it during the day, but may get a chance to earn his wings. It’s going to be a long drive, and we have to make our own entertainment.

We listened to :NPR again on various public radio stations. When they faded, started to repeat or played yesterday’s programs, we stuck CDs in the player — the RAV doesn’t have one and the Silver Beast does, so that was a treat. We got into Estes Park at 12:30 or 1:00pm — much higher average speeds were allowed across the whole of Nebraska and Iowa, so we got in much earlier than planned.

And we’re off
We’re moving. Tonight we’re in Grand Island NE which was probably an important stop on the pioneer trail, but now it’s the junction of two highways, a lot of hotels, and a river.
We started late this morning (me, my bad, didn’t get much done last night and dinked around blogging). But anyway, we’re on the road and think we’ll arrive in Estes Park tomorrow.
