A Walk In The Park...

 

The RV park, that is.  Yesterday, I took a short walk around part of Hart Ranch, trying out my Oakley Vanguard Meta glasses as the video recorder.  The camera in the glasses does a decent job, but the guy running them could have looked around at something besides the road.  ;-)

So, another video here, that won't get posted anywhere else.  It was a test: a windy day (again), and I wanted to see how the noise reduction in the 5 microphones in the glasses would handle that.  Quite well, as it turns out.

So, a walkin' and talkin' video about Hart Ranch...

 Another learning experience with the Oakleys.

Rolling south today. 

--------

We were up early, and hit the road.  The GPS was showing us into our intended destination just before 1:00 pm.  Nahh - that's too early; all we're looking to do at this point is make some miles in the general direction of Phoenix.  We picked another potential stop a couple hours further down the road.

Another "3 state day": South Dakota, Nebraska, and Colorado.  The "Heartland Express" is a joint venture between those 3 states to make a good 4 lane road from the Black Hills to the Denver area.  South Dakota has done their part - the road is good; Nebraska, not so much - still mostly 2 lane; Colorado - they should be ashamed of themselves - State Highway 71 is mostly ugly 2 lane, no shoulders, with the road surface in terrible condition.  With us extending the driving day from around 350 miles to 540 miles, I was already tired by the time we got onto that crappy road in Colorado.  If we come back this way, I won't make that mistake again.  We could have taken I-70 into Denver, then I-25 south to where we are down (south of Pueblo), but I didn't want to deal with all the Denver traffic.  Still likely would have been better than that lumpy, cracked mess of a road that passes for a State Highway in Colorado.

I got a photo of Stella on the dash and on Joan's lap while underway...

Joan sent me this one of Stella sitting on the door arm rest...

She looks tiny there; but she is getting bigger.  Joan shot this one of Stella and Murphy at the sliding door yesterday...

 The long driving day today means fewer miles to cover the next 3 days.  We are down for the day, a/c going (back into the 90s for temperature today) and ready to relax.
