Time to leave Glenwood. The job is done. Blustery weather. Rain all morning. Snow in the high country. Not far to go. Made a leisurely start. Had lunch at the rest stop at the top of Vail Pass. Admired the scenery and watched it snow. Rolled on down the other side, hung a right on Colorado Highway 9 at Frisco, up through Breckenridge, over Hoosier Pass, down through Alma and Fairplay. Colorado Highway 9 almost all the way to Canon City. We have a new favorite Colorado highway. Diagonally across South Park, through rolling hills and ponderosa pine. Not a spectacular canyon highway, but remote grassy hills spotted with trees and flowers. Finally, over one last hump, and a long downhill to Highway 50, one of our favorite highways, but no driving on Highway 50 today. The Royal View RV Park is right there at the intersection. We’re still about ten miles from town, where next week’s job is, but we’re happy to be out here among the bluebirds. Hundred of bluebirds. Mountain bluebirds.
