The town of Seibert, Colorado probably used to be a one horse town until someone, maybe the town drunk, ran over the horse. No that is not a true story but lets just say it makes Yale, Oklahoma look like a metropolis. The campground wasn’t much and it was a little over $25. The good new is it had 50 amp so we could run both air conditioners. I had thought about staying at Wal-mart in Goodland, Kansas but figured it was too hot and I would have to run the generator late. I don’t like to do that at a Wal-mart or a rest stop unless there are 18 wheelers running their engines.
We got up this morning and looked in our old “Next Exit” for somewhere to eat breakfast. We decided to stop at the Flying J at exit 361 in Limon. The only problem was the Flying J wasn’t at exit 361, so we just had a hamburger at Wendy’s. After eating we got back on I-70 and guess what, at exit 359 we found where the Flying J had moved. Going through Denver was a snap. I think I averaged about 55 mph; however the east side of Denver was a different matter. Some of the grades I was down to 35 mph, but “Big Blue” made it OK. I just backed off on the throttle and got a lower gear so she wouldn’t heat up.
We got to the campground (Cottonwood RV Camp) in Idaho Springs about 2:30 pm and were checked in and hooked up by 3:15 pm. The lot we got is not large, none of them are, but it is fairly level with plenty of room for the slides and parking for the Jeep. Looks like we are headed to Central City to check out the Casinos. More later.
