Day 8, I think

I think today is Wednesday, which will be day 8. I left Austin last Wednesday. It is hard to keep track of dates.

I am at the KOA Kampground in Colorado Springs, CO. I plan on going to the Garden of the Gods today.

Then, hopefully find a campground closer to the mountains and going to Pike's Peak tomorrow.

This campground has pictures posted saying "BEWARE - Bear seen in the area" and a picture of a bear sniffing at the opening of a tent. I'm so glad I am not sleeping in a tent! I was tempted to throw out the little bit of food I have in the truck, a box of cheese crackers, and two granola bars. But, I figured if a bear knocked on the door in the middle of the night, I would just give him my food, no questions asked.

I have also seen about 50 rabbits hopping around here. They are apparently very comfortable being around people. And a HUGE flock of black birds. HUGE and very close. That probably scares me more than the possibility of seeing a bear.

And you wouldn't believe some people's toys. One couple drove up last night with the man driving one big ass pick-up pulling a trailer with Hobbie written on the side, and his wife was behind him in another big ass pick-up pulling a trailer with a Harley on it. They park and get two more motorcycles out of the first trailer. There is apparently room to sleep in that trailer. Question: how can two people ride three motorcycles? There was a another couple playing darts, with the board hanging on the outside of their trailer. And, of course, lots of TV dishes/antennas. And, if you ever think to rent a cabin at one of these campgrounds, you may think again. They are not much bigger than my truck. I would be disappointed to drive up and find out that was what I paid a lot of money for.

I LOVE flowers! And here is what I do now that I don't spend tons of time on the internet.

Yall have a good day!
