Left early to drive to Colorado. Stopped in Salina for gas and decided to get coffee at a nice coffee shop with books. Browsed an illustrated book about Gen. Grant – who’s biography I’ve read. Kept going to Colorado and stopped in Boulder to pick up some food. Got to the camp site in the Rockies before sun set. Road was rough and will be a test for my tires – wishing I had gotten all terrain tires instead of all weather. They seemed to hold up so far. Was getting to be dusk by the time I was setting up, so I decided just to have a sandwich and read/watch some downloaded Netflix shows before bed. Had good internet signal even without the booster. Temperature got to the high 20s.. so utilized all my blankets and sleeping bag and slept fully dressed from thermals to jacket. Still was a little cold but slept okay.
