Thursday, June 25 Bright sunshine wakes us up every morning . . . at 6:30! This is our last day in Rocky Mts and the plan was to drive the northern-most Park road to the Fall River Visitor Center and beyond. To fuel up for the day, we cooked hash and eggs – inside the camper. As this was mostly a driving tour, we took the dogs with us. We left Moraine Park and did a quick side trip back to the Upper Beaver Meadows. Then back to the main road, turning off at Deer Ridge Junction and heading straight north to the Fall River Road. We took that back as far as it was open to the Alluvial Fan, where a flood had torn through in the 1980’s. At that point the Old Fall River Road (which is a dirt road) was closed. Turning around we came to the Fall River Visitor Center – just inside the city limits of Estes Park. They had a beautiful store and I selected a pair of cute little pinecone earrings as a Rocky Mt. memory. We had carryout for lunch, and then repeated the same trip back to our Moraine Park campground. Pulling in, just after noon, we figured this would be our last trip around the park. There is a certain amount of clean-up that needs to be done after 5 days in one place without hook-up. We relished that tomorrow we would be heading eastward toward South Dakota and our favorite Custer State Park area.

We don’t go camping any more . . . we go ‘streamin’ ! The “SIlvermine and His” is our 2018 25' Airstream Serenity with Salsa interior and front twin beds., and ‘streamin’ is the name we use to describe our adventures. Stream along as we document everything from weekend trips to longer summer excursions and full-blown vacations. You know what they say: if you’re not in an Airstream – you’re just camping!
