Day #8 In Evergreen, Co.

   Wow! It's hard to realize we've been here for 8 days!
   Woke up to a really nice day. Had all the windows and door open by 0900.
   I think I told ya we bought a used stove about 2 weeks ago at Bernies RV repair. This morning we decided to install it. I was gonna wait til we got to Montana but today was the day.
   First we had to unload the old stove. We seem to store stuff anywhere we can and since the oven is a space, of course it's full. I'd kinda looked it over so I knew where it was screwed in to.

  It only took about 20 minutes to remove the old stove. Heather cleaned up the area and new stove. We carried the new stove in and about a 1/2 hr later we had a new tested used stove. Total cost? $175  WOO-HOO !!
I noticed this Elks lodge has a metal recycle area so getting rid of the old stove was a snap.
   After a clean up and nap we took a hike into Evergreen and checked out downtown by foot.

 Lots of shops and touristy things. (not for me). Our friend Carl, in Florida, used to live in this area so we checked out some of his suggestions.

 Very small and quaint little town. They have a rodeo parade and happening this weekend and the town is busy preparing for it. Tomorrow the Elks Lodge we're staying at has an all day party planned. We'll join in the fun and are looking forward to the good eats they've been prepareing for 3 days.
   We'll be pulling out Monday and continueing our trek to Montana weather permitting.
   REMEMBER, LIVE YOUR DREAMS AS TIME GOES BY QUICKLY. Charlie & Heather.
