Steamboat Springs, CO

July 2-6

We sure are enjoying our time being able to spread out a little and relax. Not that the trailer isn't comfortable, but it isn't that big. We really did relax with our time here - not rush out to do anything, sleep in, watch tv or whatever, particularly since I got a little intestinal thing. We did some wandering around town and went to the rodeo on the 4th of July - what could be more American.

Since we really didn't do much but lay around, do a little shopping and go to the rodeo and fireworks there isn't a lot to describe. Katie and Matt seemed to enjoy the relaxing time. Katie spent a fair amount of time on the computer and texting her friends since we have pretty good service here while Matt tried to make up for his tv deficit of the last 3 weeks. We were having such a good time laying low that we stayed an extra day. Not a big deal since we actually had the condo for a full week but never planned on staying that long. See some of the pics below.

Hey Neil and the Gang!

Sounds great so far! It seems the that intestinal thing may have added to the "gas" situation with the truck! It is great that you are posting these things, and it sure beats the obligatory "slide show" on the dining room wall at the end! Well, it's good to hear that Captain Bligh is alive and well and still able to "skipper" a "ship", but "beware the wake monster" who rises up and cause calamitous occurrences while traversing the open seas!

Grissy et al -
Nice shirt, John Buffalo! Hope your intestinal thing passed quickly. Hah!

Glad you're having a great time out there - the pictures are amazing! I can only imagine how breath-taking everything is in person. Even better with some deet.

It's hot as anything out here, so don't drive back too fast. Then again, the tank is probably doing 0-to-60 in 5 minutes.

Peace,
