 September 22-28, 2022 Days 11-17. Thursday morning we packed up the camper for our trip through Wyoming to Fort Collins, CO.  It was a drizzly morning.

Our scores weren’t the greatest but we had a great time.  After golf we went back to the camper and celebrated the day with our own happy hour.  Luckily we had some leftover pasta and sauce that my sister’s friend José had made so we didn’t need to cook. BTW, it was delicious José. Thank you Patty for sharing that with us.  To end day we had our first campfire of our tri...
