Arrival at a Restful Place

We are now at our daughter Mandy's house in Wyoming for a relaxing few days.  On the way here we saw beautiful mountain scenery--on Monday between Durango and Montrose in western Colorado and on Tuesday between Montrose and Canon City in central Colorado.  On the latter day, we followed the Arkansas River for quite a few miles.  We saw rafters on this river, which is much bigger than the San Juan in Pagosa Springs.  Doug wants to come back to this area and raft on the Arkansas.  After a great trip through the mountains, we had some trouble before leaving Colorado.  Doug noticed that one of our camper tires had started shredding and the other one didn't look good.  He had brought an extra tire, so he was able to changed both tires in less than 45 minutes so we could be on our way.  We didn't arrive at Mandy's in Laramie until 9 pm, however.  We are just thankful that he had the foresight to bring the extra tire, and that it wasn't dark yet.

Wow! You are fortunate, indeed, to be blessed with a plan-ahead type of man! (That's my Dad!)

I'm glad you go there safely.

Hi Guys,
Glad you survived the rapids and the shredded treads.
We had a similar situation with our trailer but didn't discover until we got home that the outer half of 2 tires were thread bare - a faulty axle was to blame.  You might want to check that out.  Also some refrigerators have been recalled.  Yes, owning a trailer is lots of fun but it's always something!  The best parts are knowing who slept in your bed last night plus never again having to use a filthy gas station bathroom. xox
