Well, the day started with bagels and bananas. Not the same as the biscuits and gravy at the previous hotel, but plenty to get the day started:) We gave hugs to dad, thanked him for the wonderful time in Kansas, and hit the road early. Aiming for Colorado, we hoped to have a successful venture to an actual campground again. The accommodations of hotels have been nice, but Allison and I were both yearning for a good night camping. On the way towards Denver, we broke up the monotony of the driving when I pulled over to take a picture of us on a hay bail. I had been driving for the first 7,000 miles or so, and convinced Allison she should give the manual a try to learn driving stick. The last time she tried was when we were dating, and it was an experience...but a joyful one. It lasted for about 2 minutes before Allison was about at a breaking point and asked me to at least shift for her. That turned out to be a good idea to start her out, and she drove for about the next hour on the freeway. I think that's about all she desires to get in driving for now.
Eventually, we did make it to the Denver area of Colorado, to a popular campground in the vicinity called Cherry Creek. What a blessing to be there. The weather was nice, the rain was gone, and the campground was very nice. We went for a stroll through some trails for a couple of hours and settled back in the campsite to enjoy some fire-roasted hot dogs and hot vegetables. Oh, wonderful camp food. The campground was everything we could hope for and more and was a perfect end to another day on the road.
