Wrapping up Denver

Thursday, 12 July 2018
Cherry Creek State Park — Aurora, Colorado

Temps: 
86F (30C) / 64F (18C)


Truth be told, we didn’t really spend much time in Denver proper … except to check out some condo options to see if the city would be a consideration for future settlement.  Though we have not written off Denver categorically, the properties we saw didn't really meet our “wish-list.”  So for now, at least, we’re scratching the city off the list.

What else did we do during the time we were based at Cherry Creek SP?  We did have some fun times … with Denver-based friends and family.

2½ Driving Days … from Utah to Colorado

Saturday, 7 July 2018
Cherry Creek State Park — Aurora, Colorado

Temps: 96F (37C) / 62F (17C)

Way late catching up ... but better late than never!


We have changed states again.  I had two days planned for the drive … but we ended up with an extra half-day because of a slight miscalculation on our part … ooops.

Wrapping Up Utah on a High!

Happy Birthday USA!

We have one more day left before we head to the east side of the Rockies. This post will wrap up our stay at the famcamp and our time visiting some of our old haunts in the Salt Lake City area.

Catching Up … Our Utah Goings On

Saturday, 30 June 2018
Hill AFB FamCamp — Hill AFB, Utah
Temps: 83F (28C) / 59F (15C)


I’m not going to say that time has run away from me, because you all already know that it has ;-)  So … let’s just catch up on all that Mui and I’ve been up to since we arrived at Hill Air Force Base on June 21.
By the way, every sign and document I’ve come across still refers to J[oint] B[ase] Hill as Hill AFB … I’ll follow suit.

Driving Days … From Washington to Utah via Oregon and Idaho

Thursday, 21 June 2018
JB Hill FamCamp — JB Hill, Utah
Temps: 89F (32C) / 60F (16C)

Four days of driving … three one-night stands in campgrounds.  That’s what it took to get us to  Utah.

Welcome to Utah

More specifically, we are at the famcamp at Joint Base Hill … still referred to by most people as Hill Air Force Base … just as it was back in the 1980s when Mui was stationed here for a couple of years.
