We got up early (ok I woke up early and played on the computer for an hour before shutting it down because of low power.) We then started moving around and Sasha went out to the campground bathrooms; when he came back in, he told me that when we had hooked up the power last night, the plug was loose and that was why we did not have any electrical power last night. So we plugged in the laptop and cell phones to charge them up.

Last night was COLD so we had the heat up high, thereby making
us wonder how much propane we had available. We realized that we
need a blanket at least to keep us warmer. Sasha first used the
kitchen to boil water and made me hot chocolate and he had
coffee. Then it was my turn at the kitchen, to make hot oatmeal
for breakfast. We had gotten a covered pot yesterday so I washed
it and used it for breakfast. I have to remember that the sink
is not as large as ours at home as I splashed our blanket on the
bed. But making breakfast was pretty easy and before long, we
were eating.
We had decided before breakfast that we were going to stay at
the campground for another day. But when Sasha had powered up
the computer, he checked the weather for Colorado Springs vs.
Grand Junction and found Grand Junction was
50 F today, almost 30 degrees warmer than where we were. And it
was supposed to go to 7 F this evening at Colorado Springs. That
helped decide it for us. We started moving quicker and got on
the road by 12:45 pm to go to Bed, Bath & Beyond, (using the
internet, my computer and the GPS system I was able to figure
out which store was the closest) where we got fleece blanket, a
down comforter (for inside the duvet), a mixing spoon (I used a
plastic spoon for mixing the oatmeal, which slightly melted as I
was cooking), and a soap dish for when we go to campgrounds and
I need to bring in my soap. The things you learn while camping!
Got lunch at Chipotle, a Mexican restaurant similar to Baja
Fresh but with bigger proportions. |

Then we headed out to Grand Junction at 2 pm.
We went through many different ecosystems and environments. Just
going across the state of Colorado we saw more and took more
pictures than going from Sterling, Virginia to eastern Colorado.
It is a wonderful state and I figure we will be coming here more
often. These were all taken March 31st.
I will finish up this page in the next couple of days, I just
wanted to bring you here to show you about our non-stick pot for our
first breakfast during our first adventure.
Our Vacation is over, but you can check out our
Full Time Adventure starting in
2007.
