The wait is over!  Atom & Susan arrived Thursday afternoon!   It is so nice to have our friends with us for a portion of this journey.  We are in Estes Park and have had a delightful few days.  We explored Boulder, toured and hiked in the national park and enjoyed a wine tasting yesterday afternoon.   We have encountered a variety of weather, yesterday after visiting the Alpine Visitor Center (approx. 12,000 feet of elevation) there was sleet and hail and the temps dropped to 48.   We have a little compound at our campground! Today, we are exploring…
