Rocky Mountain National Park

23-JUN-2004
Well Dad is getting tired of doing all the work on this blog so he’s making me post. Yesterday morning we arrived at Rocky Mountain State Park, which is absolutely beautiful. We set up camp and drove around for awhile just looking at the scenery. There are tons of elk around here everywhere you look. We can see them just outside our window of the camper. They have problems with overpopulation of elks and they’re going to start using birth control. This morning we’re going to take one more scenic drive to see the rest of the park then head out toward the Black Hills. If we’re lucky we’ll make it there late tonight. – posted by Nicole

This is the mother of the tribe. We’re on our way to Cheyenne, WY at the moment, where we’ll stop at the Flying J truck stop where we desperately need to take showers. The last campground didn’t have any, which we weren’t expecting, so now it’s time to get cleaned up! We may be visiting Roger’s cousin that just moved out to Wyoming but we need to get their address to see if it’s on the way or how far out of the way it is. We’re listening to the first Harry Potter book on tape as we drive. We can borrow them from one truck stop & return them at another, so this is the second book we’ve gotten that way. Keeps everyone quiet & minds occupied for awhile! We’ve finally decided on our general route – we’re taking it one day at a time for sure! - posted by Jolene

Dad wants as all to post so here goes. As you can see, he likes to write a LOT. Yeah but that’s ok. Anyway, basically everybody else already mentioned the things we’re doing so there’s not much to say. So since there isn’t much to say about WHAT we’re doing I’ll give you all the meaty details of the people who are doing it.
Roger- doesn’t sleep enough & doesn’t know anything about sleep. Oh, & he reaallly likes mohawks. And he always wants to make exotic meals that take a long time to make. Chicken pot pie????? Oh and he snores A LOT
Jolene-doesn’t like to off-road or be adventurous
Travis- pretty much the head of the family & VERY opinionated
Nicole- has weird dreams about being a lumberjack & bear cub. As she says “I was not completely sleeping and I kept trying to stop being a lumberjack, but I wasn’t being successful” She’s also pretty fussy about using her hat.
Renae- doesn’t like feet on her seat & takes an hour to wake up.
Going pretty good so far! We are having lotsa fun. I’ll keep you posted on their improvements - posted by Lisa
