Trying to get back

Well we thought about fast tracking home after the Great sand Dunes---but here we go again found a couple of more great places.Travelling thru Mo. we stumbled into Big Spring national forest what a find-- beautiful place--largest spring in the country water pours out from underground 250 million gallons a day --CCC did a great job buildindg this place.Moved over to Kentucky three days ago after we found Mammouth Caves--Woowee we went down 350 feet into the caves--so glad the Chelians made it out before this venture --350 miles of caves have been mapped out here.Another great find --weather here has been the best.

So tempting to take a right hand turn after leaving here down to Tennessee-go west thru Arkansas ,Oklohoma and on and on .But time to get home to see all the young ones. So after leaving here it will be the last 1000 mile push back to NH. Stoppin in PA to see a great friend.So hard to give this up--all the miles sights,places,people hiking biking kayaking.Many folks ask us what were the best places- it was all so good ---what a great country we live in--Living in the box on wheels has given us new insights of how little we need-- and how much the two of us continue to be hooked to the hip and loving it. Thanks everyone for following us on this trip it was a ball--love to all of you M&M On The Go

More pictures of The Great Sand Dunes of Colorado

Could not add enough sand dune pictures last time so heres more we took alot of pictures .

Colorado has it all

So much to do here--can spend a whole summer here no problem never been a problem no problem--guy I worked with Ernie Manville had that saying --hung on to it.In the middle of Colorado -bunches of mountains-wildlife-farming-great folks and also the hugegest sand dunes in the country .Seven hundred and fifty feet high.So we thought that must be tough to walk in --use to Cape Cod dunes worn out after 5 steps--well we made it almost to the top Mim higher.Sand it's packed it so hard wind blown --sorta like walking up a trail and not sinking in.The Great Sand Dunes 30 Sq miles --another sleeper Nat Park- we loved it gotta come back.This morning pulling out on a Sat morning families were there with flying saucers and Plastic sleds to ride the dunes-not a problem messing them up the wind pulls it all back together.Refiguring our mapping home finding nice places in Kansas even-- still staying low and catching the sun. Gotta send more picture of the dunes tommorow

Outa Utah into Colorado

Gotta get home and see the new babe and all the young ones back in NE!!What a struggle--- go a couple of hundred miles and its whole new adventure.Stayed two days in Mersa Verde to see the cliff dwellings the Puebloans lived back many-many centuries ago --to get down and outa there lots of ladders and footholes in the ledges crawled thru rock tunnels--not good for the vertigo --It was amazing to see how these folks lived under the protection of the the overhanging ledges. Never need to reshingle.Best history we got slapped with cant get enough of it.

Went over Wolf Creek Pass Continental divide in the Rockies Woowie! 10 miles of going up 20 miles an hour pulling the house on wheels .Stopped today in a small farming town lots of potatoes Monte Vista in the San Juan valley to eat again -small walk up to the counter and order Italian food -had the Raviolis the best--would you know it the guy was born in Boston Left at 5 years old and inherited those cooking skills.. One of those kind of towns you can sit down and chat with everyone --guy next table --huge --tried out for the Denver cowboys came back to the best farming!Today going to the Great Sand Dunes NP--highest ones in north america

Canyon lands utah

Hiked many trails in canyonland---tried to do early mornings --climbed to the 90"s in the afternoon and lots of lightning. Climbed over lots of rock formations and through canyons .Wonder how many rattlesnakes we passed by and did not see--plenty of them here.Lots of jeeping roads and mountain biking.Could stay here for weeks lots to do .On to Mersa Verde today-heading east on the slow crawl

Tues --great day new grandaughter arrived WOOWEE Quinn Sullivan ---gotta get home now.Did not have much motivation to leave this area until that event--great place Utah.Kayaked the Colorado river today for about 10 miles through canyons--amazing all the rock towers --monuments--spheres-and sculptures and face figures--maybe NH can come here to get a new one to replace the one that fell down.Check out picsee the one we found.
