We are now in Green River Wyoming.  Last night we stayed at Hot Sulpher Springs, Colorado.    We checked out the hot pools there.  There were 24 different pools ranging in temperature from 95 degrees to 115 degrees.  We thought about going but it was $17.50 per person and Bill can sit in a hot tub for about ten minutes so decided we might not be getting our money’s worth.  The town itself was a little dump and it’s hard to believe a hot pool like that could survive there.

Free isn’t always a bonus!

Wish we’d had a clear day!

 When we went up to look it didn’t appear that there was anyone in the pools and everything looked quite deserted..  The lady working there told us we could park our RV in the no charge campground across the river.  It operated on a first come, first served basis.  Nobody was in the campground!  We thought we had found the deal of the century.  Then I noticed that the train tracks ran right by us.  I wondered out loud how many trains were likely to go by overnight and Bill speculated “Not many!”.....WRONG!!!  I didn’t count but think at least a dozen roared through overnight blasting their whistles each time they went by!  Neither of us got much shut eye that’s for sure.  So much for the deal of the century!!!  We got up and decided to leave the 5th wheel and drive up to a place called Estes Park.  It kind of sounded like a little Banff and although it was raining and there was lots of low lying cloud we thought we’d give it a go.  We got the the Park gates and were informed that the road was closed due to icey road conditions.  The same had happened the day before and it hadn’t opened until mid afternoon.  The park is at 9000 feet so with the rain overnight I’m supposing the roads were a skating rink.  So...squash that plan and back to the trailer to hook up and head northward once again.  Most of the day was very drizzly so not a lot to see other than hundreds and hundreds of antelope!  Colorado has the largest number of Antelope in North America!

We stopped for lunch at Steamboat, Colorado.  A neat little touristy town and the ski hill looks amazing! From there we continued on to Wyoming.  Must confess the drive here has been quite boring.  Think I’m spoiled!!!  Nothing but miles of very desolate looking country.  We are camped tonight at Green River and will continue north tomorrow.  Unfortunately, won’t be back in time for my school’s Terry Fox Run.....too much ground to cover.  Guess I will have to Shog around the campsite tomorrow morning instead and content myself with attending the other events.  Do love those kids!  If any parents are reading this please pass on my hugs to them and tell them I can hardly wait to see them next week!

So one last “Visual Reminder” for everyone.  Monday is October 1st!  Where the heck do the days go??
