We went into Granby this morning and found a nice grocery store with good prices. Pat got his bread and a few produce items.
We later went to the town of Grand Lake to scope out where the chili cook off is to be held, we found one small park in town with no area for an RV to park so went to the Chamber of Commerce to inquire about the cook off. We found out that there is no area for RV's you have to park the RV in a parking lot quite a ways from the cooking area. Oh well, I guess we'll find out more tomorrow when we sign in for the cook off.
Later we took a drive through the Rocky Mountain National Park to Estes, CO. WOW! We drove up to an altitude of 12,000+ and the road was sheer drop offs several thousand feet down. SCARY!!! I'm telling you Pikes Peak is a walk in the park compared to all these other roads we've been on. At the top the snow is everywhere. We saw plenty of wildlife along the road, moose and elk. It was beautiful scenery.
I'm sorry the pics aren't better quality but these were taken with my phones as Pat forgot to get the camera. We didn't stop along the road to take pics they were all taken while riding in the car.
Arrived at Estes Park. WOW! People everywhere, its kind of like Fredericksburg with all the shops and people on the sidewalks. We did get out and go to one shop as Pat wanted to buy a compass for setting our Dish TV.
Then back on the scary road back to Grand Lake/Granby. We didn't get home until around 5:30-6:00.
Got to get rested up for the cook off. Stay tuned for that.....
