Man I am jealous!! You don't need a porter do you?! Enjoy it!
Bruce I had a friend, may he rest in peace, that every year he and his wife would pull a small camper and head to Yellowstone. Along the way they always stoped in Estes Park for a few days and a few other nice spots in Co and WY. They would leave here every Labor Day and would stay in Yellowstone until the first snow. After that first snow melted they would return home. I've seen some of the pictures they took along the way. It's a beautiful country we live in I just wish that I can see more of it before I leave it for good.

To her low rolling hills are mountains and real mountains are evil. A few years ago we were driving back from San Diego and went through Las Vagas. We crossed the Hover Dam and drove over the continental Divide on I-40. We were driving in fairly flat high desert when she saw a sign that said we were at 6 or 8 thousand feet she started to get pail and in a panic because we were so high. I thought is was funny and asked her is she thought we would fall off or something. Take care my friend.
