The hamfest on Sunday was not a big affair. It opened to the public at 8:30 am and was supposed to last until 2pm, however by noon most all had gone home and several of the vendors were packing up, so they had the final drawings and closed up shop. We did fairly well, not as good as last weekend in Salina, KS, but worth the trouble.

We decided to stay another night at the fair grounds as I did not want to start into the mountains after working the hamfest and getting up at 5am. It is a good thing we did not leave Sunday as we immediately started up into the mountains as soon as we left Golden. It was mile after mile of 20 to 30 mph in second gear going up 6% and 7% grades. We did make it to Glenwood Springs, CO and are at Amy's Acres Campground that is on the side of the mountain.
We can see I70 below us at the foot of the mountain and the railroad is on the other side of the highway. The canyon is so narrow that through Glenn Canyon the east bound traffic is under the west bound traffic which is built up on bridge like structures. There is a 13 mile stretch that has a 50 mph speed limit because the road is a narrow two lane in each direction because the canyon walls go straight up on either side. A beautiful drive, but it takes a lot of attention with a rig as big as ours with the van on behind.

We will head on west and hopefully get into Utah tomorrow.

Our photos are of some of the interesting places in Vale, CO, where you can spend your hard earned money and go skiing in the winter. The facilities are all just beautiful.

Our campsite is as high up as you can get a motorized vehicle, in this park at least. There are places they have leveled off on above us for tent sites. You can see below that they are all terraced down the mountain side until you get to the highway. Some of the units appear to have been here for the summer as they have decks, etc. and appear to be used for the summer, I doubt that they would be here in the winter.
