We've been home for three months so it's time for another trip. This time we're doing something a little different ---- we're camping out of the pickup truck. (crossing my fingers that it'll go according to plan. Then again there's always motels). We also have not booked accommodations so we can wander at will. It's been a few years since we've done a trip with no set itinerary.

Now you ask, it's nice that you're going camping but where is this camping happening? Colorado is where. It is a state that we have just touched on. We spend a night in Colorado Springs back into 2010 then drove south to New Mexico. This year we are hoping to see the southern half of the state of Colorado. It's a fair size state and there is a lot to see. We'll be starting with sand dunes and old Anasazi (ancient native Americans) dwellings, then we'll head into the mountains.

We are leaving tomorrow morning and hope to drive about a 1,000 km to Effingham Illinois.

No, we are not getting a puppy but I couldn't resist posting a photo of Amy (a friends dog) and some of her puppies.
