Visiting with John & Bridget, Foretravel Rally Begins

We were back on the road at 8:15 this morning heading south on I-25. The traffic through Denver wasn’t too heavy.  We try to always choose the time carefully when we travel through big cities.

We arrived at the Garden of the Gods campground at eleven o’clock. We were all parked by 11:30 overall it was very pleasant and short travel day. As Gina got our home setup I was on the internet. We got a message from John & Bridget they were here in Colorado Springs and decided to drive over to see us.

We had last seen them at the RV-Dreams rally in 2008. Since then John has retired and they are now traveling fulltime. They’re both from Mississippi and it was nice to visit with another couple from the south. Gina and I are so glad that they took the time to come visit us before they head east today as they make their way to Kansas. After we said our “see ya down the road” we walked over to the Four Corners Foretravel Rally for the “Meet and Greet”.

Happy 80th Birthday Rick!!!

We had a great time meeting everyone and enjoyed celebrating Rick’s 80th birthday. After I ate two pieces of birthday cake we told everyone goodnight and walked back home to take Angel and Zoey for a walk. We told Mom & Pop’s goodnight and went to bed.

Our adventure for today will be the Cog Railway up to Pikes Peak. That will be our excitement so stay tuned for pictures tomorrow.

Gina & I hope everyone has a pleasant and wonderful day, enjoying what our Father has so graciously blessed us with.
