Colorado vacation day 1 - July 10

[We'll slide into recounting the whole vacation trip slowly, so as not to build the excitement levels (or envy) too fast. We'll just let my jotted notes out of my trip journal start us off. I have only edited them by adding punctuation or paragraph marks where needed.]

Left JC @ 5:00 AM (CDT). Arrived at Mike's @ 5:00 PM (MDT). Drove through heavy (frightening) rain & lightning in MO from Boonville to about Oak Grove - other than that the drive was uneventful.
Welcome to Colorful Colorado!
From 2007-07-10 - Colorado Vacation, Day 1
Saw a few pronghorn just w. of Limon.

Mike & Ginger live way up in the mountains above Golden!

Looking toward Gray's & Torrey's Peaks from la Casa Slinkard
Truck is packed & ready - we are planning to leave @ 4:30 AM.
My truck - Pike's Peak is in the far distance if you know where to look and what you're looking for
Stay tuned for more to come!
