We arrived in Colorado around Oct 9th. Had a bit of a hick up in Wyoming so we had to leave a little early. Our generator stopped working properly and since we were dry camping, which means we didn't have hook ups where we were it was necessary to get to a repair shop. So we packed up and headed out on a trip through Wyoming south to Colorado just East of Denver.
The generator was a simple repair and maintenance so we were good to go. Found a great park in the middle of the city called Cherry Creek State park. It was beautiful, they had a dog park for the girls to run and play in stream. I probably loved it more then they did. We stayed in Colorado until Nov 2nd so we could hang out with Tom's adopted son Kirk, who was a childhood friend of Tom's son Pete. It was great to see him. Kirk decorates for Halloween and has a haunted house for the neighborhood kids. We dressed up to scare the kids. Some cried, some loved it, and some thought we were crazy. All in all it was fun.

| Tom was a dead zombie surgeon. He did a great job in his make up. |

| Kirk sat in the box and remained still until kids walked by and then he grabbed them. |

We got some snow while we were in there. An early storm brought about 8" of snow one night. It was wonderful from my stand point being a California girl. I am sure the locals hated it coming so early
As a bonus I was able see a long lost friend from High School who I had not seen since graduation. It was so fun to see her and meet her wonderful family. We spent an afternoon with them and got to catch up on all that has happened to us since high school.
After our lengthy stay in Colorado we started heading East.....
