We slept pretty well last night, until we realized it was really cold in our house! We had elected not to set the heat to come on and about 4AM, we were regretting that decision. So I elected Gary to get up and turn it on (hee hee)! It was about 45 degrees in the ole MoHo - way too cold for this thin blooded California girl. My feet were freezing - so tonight I'm wearing socks for sure.
We headed for the RMNP and the Trail Ridge Road. The highest, paved road in the US. We were at one point over 11,000' elevation. Guess what folks it's really hard to breathe that high up.
This road is amazing and should be on everyone's bucket list. Not a road to take a motorhome over for sure.
We were so lucky to see lots of animals today! We saw a buck Elk and his female and baby! They caused quite a traffic jam on the road and we were only able to catch a quick pic as there was chaos everywhere. Then we stumbled on a group of what we believe to be Bighorn sheep. They looked to be mostly females and their young, but then what do we know! We had a beautiful gray and blue bird pose for us and the cutest little ground squirrels. Unfortunately no sightings yet of our moose mama and babies here in the campground. Darn - that would be the cherry on top!
Oh and we stopped at the Continental Divide. Gary had to have his pic taken there.
