Rainy day Thursday

Kevin, Nate and Greg headed home early this morning leaving 4 of us to continue on. We started the morning out by riding Trail Ridge Road through Rocky Mt. Park where we saw a huge herd of Elk. That picture probably only shows 1/3 of the herd. Afterwards we kept moving South and rolled into Georgetown where we walked around a bit and had an ice cream cone for lunch (I know hard to believe). It started raining so we suited up for it and rode over Guanella Pass which took us into Grant. We checked out the families cabin and again headed out in the rain. After a slight detour we made it to the KOA in Cripple Creek around 5:00 pm. Of course the skies cleared and we had a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains. We went into town for a buffet dinner at one of the casinos. It will be chilly tonight seeing as how this campground is located at over 10,000 feet. In the morning Steve will start his journey home while Frank, Bruce and I will work our way to Durango where we will spend the next 2 nights before returning to Arizona on Sunday.
