The folks in the lodge have been very cordial. There's a few campers here but no one has been at them since our arrival. We're close enough to town to be able to walk to it but wildlife still walk in the park.
Evergreen has a Rodeo weekend this Saturday and from what we've heard they close off main street and a LOT of people come to it. Better get any running around or shopping done by Friday.
Our friends Red & Lori have been making sure to keep us busy and entertained. Lori has given us the cook's tour of the area and the more we see the prettier it gets. There's something about winding thru the mountains at 6000 ft elevations that presents another awesome view with every curve. Off in the distances are snow capped mountain backdrops no matter which way you look.
I've had my jaw drop so many times and it's wonderful. No picture will ever do it justice.
We were invited to "band practice" last night. RED is a very talented musician, vocalist. His band "Juggernauts" has been together for 2 years and Tuesday night is practice nite. We watched as they practiced and it was fun to hear a song morph to perfection. It takes a lot of time and energy to "get it right" and all the band members have some years of experience to make it happen. They have an internet site with schedules in case anyone is in the area.
www.juggernautrocks.com We highly recommend them.
Last week we "lost" the vented cover on the back of the fridge somewhere before the tow job. I did some internet searches and located one at a salvage yard luckily. $45 + shipping.Now I gotta figure out a schedule so it can be shipped. I might make a temporary cover and wait til we hit Montana to do permanent repairs. You can bet I'll have a safety chain on the new one. Still can't figure out where we lost it.
Saturday this Elks is having a buffet and open house. I betcha we do that. They have a nice patio and outdoor kitchen and it sounds like a good time.
We're booked here til Monday morning and may continue our trek North. Depends on the weather a lot. Gotta keep an eye on the fires in Colorado too. Found a fire tracking map that I'll be checking regularly. Sure don't want to get involved in that danger.
Gonna do some puttering around and check engine timing today and see where the evening leads us. Having a real great time here.
