USAFA, day 3




Good morning. Friday was one of our extremely rare rainy days on the trip, and it came at a perfect time. After four straight driving days, it was good to relax and do some much needed cleaning. Those of you with RVs know that the rig collects dust and dirt faster than your house does. Last evening we had supper and a visit with old friends and classmate, Buzz and Brita Glenn. Supper was at Ted's Montana Grill, a small chain of Ted Turner's that features bison from his herds of thousands of them. Durelle tried the short ribs, and I had a roast beef after having a lot of chicken and fish lately.
This morning, after walking Belle, I set out to find a newspaper. The morning light was ideal for some pictures, so I brought the camera. The picture of the B-52 is at the north end of the base looking sou'west. Note the bear proof trash container a la Yellowstone. I also got a shot of Pike's Peak with a dusting of fresh snow and Blodgett Peak in the foreground. The Cloutiers have all been on top of both of them, though not recently. The third picture is looking south toward the cadet area.
Today we'll go to the commissary, beauty shop etc. The "etc." includes the Class Six (liquor) store. You know you have been on the road a long time when you have to replenish the Vermouth! It has been 111 days as of today.
