Estes Park: The building where "The Shining" was
filmed. The TV movie, not the one with Jack Nicholson.
Was
relieved to find this campground before dark after discovering that
the Estes Park Hostel was closed.
Walking
back from the showers to my campsite after dark, I saw a bunch of
"red fireflies". Pretty. Never seen anything like that
before!
Rocky
Mountain National Park
Took Rt.
34 through the Rocky Mountain National Park. Then Rt. 40 to
Kremmling, to Rt. 131, to I-70.
Driving
down 131 was a little bit of a challenge--it was steep & very
curvy. There was a short period of rain--about 5
minutes. When I reached I-70 I turned on the radio to learn
that a section of Rt. 131 had just been washed out.
My luck
was still holding out!

Stopped
in Kremmling, CO for something cool to eat.

Took
this photo down the street from Mrs. Z's.

Nearing
the end of Rt. 131, I pulled over to take some pictures. A
gentleman with a motorcycle had the same idea. He asked me to
take his picture--then he took mine.
