Day Eight- Colorada

Another beautiful day! Woke up around 7 and got packed up for today's road trip to Colorado (between 5 and 6 hours). Went back to Goblin Valley campground (we had paid for a spot but camped in the canyon so we still had access to water, shower and trash disposal). Just crossed into Colorado 10:29. Stopped and got gas in Avon Colorado gas was $4.99 gallon. We are driving thru Vail (money, money, money)! I can see ski lifts everywhere. All the moutain, creek ski areas were jammed up with traffic. Everyone coming in for vacation into these small moutain towns and there was no where for the traffic to go. So it started backing up on 70 West for probably 15 to 20 miles. Luckily we were going East. All the camping areas were reserved and even the dispersed camping was full. So we decided to just keep driving. We stopped at a Taco John's for dinner and it was terrible 😫. Found a KOA campground about 30 minutes into Nebraska. Made a reservation online. Got to the KOA and the office was already closed. There was no check in envelope for us. Finally a guy shows up about 20 minutes after we called for help and we discover there are 2 KOA'S within 3 minutes of each other. So we drive to the other one and it is right next to the interstate and we are the last slot in the park closest to the interstate. The other park was much nicer, lol. We are set up and ready for bed. Hoping for a better day tomorrow. All the pictures are while driving and out the window of the bus.Read more
