Working for our rent

We arrived at the campground of the rockies on May 10th.  Craig has done a lot of work, including getting their golf cart going.  He cleans two shower houses here, 5 days a week.

Today we drove Hwy 82 about 20 miles north of Bunea Vista, Co. Over a mountain pass called Independence.  Just beautiful, the pass only open up yesterday and the snow was still there.  Several people where sking.

Made our way over the top and into Aspen, Co.  Wow!

Snow in May, Gunnison, CO

Monarch Pass is just over 11,000 feet and is between us and our work camping job.  Sooooo we are spending 3 or 4 extra nights here at Gunnison RV resort.  Our phone and Internet connection is not very good.

April 4th we left south Texas.  Stopping in Silver City, New Mexico where we experience a severe dust storm, at the Grand Canyon we had several record setting lows, at Zion National Park we discovered how hard it is to find a RV spot,  in Moab, UT we where out of place because everyone owes a Jeep and we don't and now up in elevation in CO we have learned that you can not second guess Mother Nature.

Monarch Pass, on Hwy 50, was going to be a test for Craig, but now with wet snow roads it will be a mess.  I will drive the car and Craig will only have to deal with the motor home.

We will see.  As Howard said "we will figure it out".
