2025 Late-Summer Road Trip - Day 19-of-35 - September 1, 2025

Monday, Sept. 1, 2025 - East, and down into Colorado - 353 miles ending up at Edwards House, Fort Collins, CO:

Yes - there is A LOT of wide-open-space out here in these Wide Open Spaces:

At a rest stop, Mr. Moose was wondering the best way to say Hello to a new friend:

We stopped for a nice lunch in Downtown Laramie, Wyoming:

A Lot of Windmills have been built (and some are even turning!):

We crossed into Colorado at 2:20

I guess Wendy is getting a little tired of the "Super 8 Lifestyle" (and maybe I am also, a little). So she did some research, and we checked into Edwards House, Fort Collins, CO around 3:30

After a little rest, we had a WONDERFUL DINNER with Gene, Sarah, and Doug at Vern's Place in Laporte, Colorado:

After dinner we went just up the road to see Sarah and Gene's NEW HOME. After the full tour, we headed back to Edwards House for the night - 353 miles today (and 3 Post Offices). This is what they looked like:

Thank you God for another wonderful Adventure Day!
