Hi everyone,
This is Wendy writing this time. Today we got up to Buena Vista, for the start of TransRockies Run tomorrow. We left Phoenix on Friday night and drove to Gallup, New Mexico where we stayed at the Red Roof Inn. We all got a good night of sleep and got going pretty early (for me anyway) on Saturday as we had a long day on the road to get up to Denver. The day seemed to pass pretty quickly but that was because I slept for a lot of it :- )
We arrived in Denver just in time to pick up the RV that will be our home for the next 8 days. It's not too bad, quite comfy and keeping out the rain which is falling at the moment as I type this. Last night we stayed with Sara, an old friend of mine. This morning after a great breakfast we headed here to Buena Vista. It sure is beautiful up here. We're at 8300 ft and there are mountains all around.
Stu and I got checked in and picked up all our swag. This evening we had our first TR meal (kabobs) and got to see our competition. Everyone seems in good spirits despite a storm that has blown in. We can hear lots of lightning and see thunder all around [that's an inside joke for one of our friends back in the valley (Jeff you know who you are - LOL)].
Right now we're chilling with beers and good reads just relaxing before turning in for the night. We start at 10am tomorrow, later than the usual start which will be 8am. Tomorrow's route is just a 'warmup' of 13 miles. It's pretty flat - only an elevation change of about 1100 feet, and the good news is we stay at this same spot tomorrow night as well.
Well that's about all from me for now. I'll check in again tomorrow night and let you all know how tomorrow went.
C'ya
