FINALLY COOL

Tonight I'm a little late in posting because I've been sitting by the campfire.  Yes, you heard right, a campfire. We are in Central City, Colorado at almost 9000 ft. in altitude and it's cool and damp enough to allow campfires.

We left the heat of Glenwood Springs this morning and drove about 100 miles on the I-70.The first part of the drive was through Glenwood Canyon along the Colorado River and the scenery was breathtaking. We drove up and over many high passes and through several tunnels and a rainstorm to reach Center City.  It's an old mining town just west of Denver.  Our campground is a green and beautiful spot on top of a mountain. We look down on the little town of Center City, and it reminds me of pictures of Switzerland.

After so many days of air conditioning and
temperatures in the 90's and 100's it's a wonderful 50 degrees tonight. We had a campfire and roasted marshmallows. Cuddle up weather at long last!
