I went on a nice 1200 miler in 'Ol Green

[pritch]

I left my place Thursday morning for Greeley, Colo. I went to the Greeley Blues Jam, a blues fest they hold there every year. I like to camp out there, the venue is surrounded by a nice park, so I had all my camping stuff loaded up. I split the ride out in two, spending the first night in Steamboat Springs. Here's 'Ol Green high on a mountain:



Friday on in to Greeley and after setting up camp, went into town to meet up with some friends and do the bar crawl. On the night before the fest, they have all the best local blues bands playing. It's too much fun! And lucky thing there is a shuttle back and forth to the campground!

Saturday we went to the main fest and all had a great time despite it being like 95 degrees. Here's an old favorite of mine that I had never seen before, John Primer, backed up by the Delta Sonics-one of those very fine local bands that we had seen the night before:



I got up Sunday and broke camp early and headed home. It had rained most of the night and I ran into a few thunder storms along the way. 'Ol Green really likes that cool humid air and she ran like a top the whole trip. Got decent milage, too, averaging about 15 over the 1200+ miles.

Man, I love a good road trip! I had so much fun, I'm going back to Colorado in 2 weeks to another blues fest.
