Sunshine … blue skies … a comfy 69F … Pikes Peak bidding us farewell.
What more could we ask for as we begin a road trip that will take us to Southwestern Colorado with a dip into Utah.

Except for the one glitch I wrote about in the previous footprint, we had an uneventful drive to Mancos, Colorado. Uneventful but a long drive … made all the more so due to the hour we spent at aLeia mais
