We are here!

That is really the name. Drove through Aspen in the dark...missed the turn at first pass. But the Corp of Engineers have seen others make that mistake and soon there was an easy (read: WIDE) place to turn around. Returned to where I had thought I'd seen a sign...Dark...late...pretty long, narrow road. Thank God there was a campground! Our #11...is a very skinny campsite
Bob was here to help us back up and take a wider turn (did I suggest that?) and unhook the car, level it and block the wheels (a runaway trailer is an ugly sight, I'm told . As well as being asked " is that what they gave you to do that?". Answer: yes. Since it was 10 o'clock, Bob went back to bed. We unloaded all our bags and food (bear country) and went into our new domaine to organize. First: Bathroom door is locked...closed...from the inside. Tom worked on that issue while I put everting in cupboards and the fridge. Magic: he opened the door...and then was starving. He ate a Safeway salad while I found the bottle opener and continued to put "stuff" away. Finally I finished the salad and joined him with a glass of Chardonay. When he was commenting on how "we" need to put things in cupboards and keep the surfaces neat, I explained that that was true and he was free to put anything anyplace he would like. He popped right up and asked if I needed some help...
I think we have killed all the miller moths and mosquitos that joined us ...Tom is pondering life in an RV as he shaves with cold water and I am happy iPads have their own light!!!
