Travel day

Breakfast at Wimbledon. Nadal takes the first two sets with a break in each. Third set, rain delay. We hit the road and head south. Judy watched Wimbledon.com on the laptop using the Verizon phone card, and when the match started up again she narrated it to me. We stopped at a rest stop outside of Cheyenne, put up the dish, had lunch, and watched the third and fourth sets. Federer won them both in tiebreakers. Fifth set, rain delay. It’s getting late; almost dark (in London). We headed south again. Wimbledon.com. It started up again. Judy narrated again. Signboard warned of a wreck on the freeway ahead. We turned off on surface streets. Worked our way over to Highway 287. Continued south. Nadal wins it 9 games to 7 just before we get to our next campground. What a match!

Boyd Lake State Park outside Loveland. Bicycle trails. A lake. Robins, kingbirds, and a blue grosbeak. Friendly neighbors. The Dish Network people are going to meet us here tomorrow and upgrade our satellite box to a DVR box.
