Thanks Kev.

Breckinridge is nice in the fall too. We went through in September a few years back on the way to Frisco and Silverthorne.

I don't remember the last time I went to the Royal Gorge and it's less than 20 miles from my house.

I remember back in the middle 80s as a milk/ice cream delivery guy, I made a rather large Sureway grocery in Princeton Ky every Wednesday morning. The Asst. Mgr. of the store alternated driving a beautiful K5 almost exactly like yours and a super nice 69-70 swb. I always thought the Blazer was the one and I pulled in one AM and there was a "for sale" sign in it. Jumped out and ran over there. Of course I was 20 something, broke, young family and there was no way I could reach it. You know how those memories fester through the years. I love your K5.

I had trouble getting my pix loaded but with help from the great people on the board,.. Here I am.

I went once and it was the pitfall of a wonderful vacation. last thing we did before heading to the airport, too. Wished we had skipped it. Not saying it's a horrible place, but after all the natural splendor and smaller more meaningful encounters with great people it was pure hell to end all that with landing on a tourist trap. We walked on the bridge, took pictures with giant cartoon figures then hi-tailed it to Canon City to a great Mexican restaurant we knew about... Taco Bell? JK! I forget which one but it was good!

Now that's more my style. On our western trip in the '71 camper truck we went up there on our way to 4-corners and the North Rim. Mesa Verde is no short hike for you.

I call it the bridge to nowhere. My kids take the grandkids up there every year at Halloween for "Boo on the Bridge" Costume contest. And depending on how long ago it has been things have changed alot since the fire in 2013. The favorite restaurant we always went to was The Chile Wagon but it's gone and now we go to Old Mission but there are quite a few and other than TB we'll eat at any of them.

We didn't plan long enough in the park at Mesa Verde. They give you a week long pass and we had one day.

[3757chevy]

Haven't done much lately . I did order a blue dash pad tonight but it's backordered until October.

[3757chevy]

My Daughter and Granddaughters attended the Rocky Mountain Street Rod Nationals with me on Friday. I drove my Blazer and she took the '72 C10 I gave her 17 years ago for graduation from high school. Saturday I rode down with her while the girls stayed home with my Wife. Sunday my Wife and I took the Blazer back down. It is about 100mile round trip everyday so I was ready for a day of rest on Monday.

Thank you sir. I just retired from selling Auto Parts for 45 years including 5 years at the Local Chevy, Olds, and Cad dealer. I'm sure he and I would have had alot to talk about. Happy 4th to you as well.
