Hello! Happy to report that we are still rolling along smoothly toward our destination. We passed a sign that read “100 miles to Denver” about 20 minutes ago just as we were driving through Vail. Passed the charmingly named “No Name” Rest Area.
10,666 (add that that is our current altitude) just before the continental divide! There is an ominous storm approaching, lighting and all.
Upon entering Colorado, we see flags at half mast, most likely due to the Aurora massacre.
Still, we feel blessed — as we head down the mountains into Denver, there is a beautiful rainbow in the sky!
