Our time near Glenwood Springs, Colorado, was over before we knew it and unfortunately obligations had us moving on. We could have easily stayed another week or two….. or even three and been quite content. My view every evening……ahhhh!
Alas, we needed to return to Grand Junction for some appointments. Let’s check out our new antenna flying proud as we mosey on down the road. Although we don’t need to raise and lower this new antenna, it is a good idea to have the pointy end of the boomerang design pointed forward for aerodynamic reasons.
With all the fixes on the RV complete, we scheduled some normal maintenance in Grand Junction for the F-250, the Tacoma, and hubby. In early April when Al initially contacted the VA for his yearly physical, he was told they couldn’t get him in until September and then low and behold an end of May opening became available. I’m sure this whole VA investigation stuff had something to do with the timely opening.
Regardless, Al is in tip top shape. The trucks are in tip top shape. The RV is hopefully in tip top shape and we’re antsy to embrace our summer travels. Fingers crossed all the mishaps are behind us because I’d like to go back to feeling excited on moving day instead of feeling fear or dread….. “Will Murphy get us today?”
That said and appointments behind us, we find ourselves back in one of our favorite spots; Ridgway State Park. The San Juan Mountains are still covered in a deep layer of snow making for a beautiful sight.
We have some hiking planned and social get togethers scheduled. Should be a fun week….

Can’t wait to the day we can spend some real time in CO, not too many more summers and we will be in the west.

Yep getting back to ‘normal’ can be somewhat elusive at times. I think we have a handle on our over heating issue. Fan Clutch, sure seems like that may be it, I have been told we should have heard a loud roar when it locked up and cooled down things on those long climbs. We never heard any loud roar. Anyway we have the new fan clutch and unless we have an extremely hot day, we will not know till we pull out with the 5er hooked up. Fingers crossed.
That antenna pointed in the right direction should give you just a little lift too!! LOL

Well let’s hope that fan clutch finally takes care of the overheating problems. Sure hope you’re able to enjoy your time in beautiful Colorado 🙂
