    So, i have traveled about 800 miles in 2 days all over Colorado. I've met some forum members in person, seen some nice rigs, and have seen some amazing scenery!

    This was yesterday:
    TW meet & greet where I met @Sean266 and he hooked me up with some great beer...
    20171111_124034.jpg 20171111_124044.jpg
    Seans nice rig (I wanted to start pulling parts off his truck truck for my truck:D)
    20171111_124116.jpg
    After the meet & greet it was time to explore. I honestly don't know where I ended up other than in the mountains....
    20171111_140048.jpg 20171111_151538.jpg 20171111_152043.jpg
    and the snow i found
    20171111_162703.jpg 20171111_163244.jpg
    (I have a bunch more pics on my camera)

    After meandering around CO mountains, I met up with @Thegr8punkin and hung out with him for a bit. For young "Millinial" he's pretty awesome. I got to see "Punkin"....no pics taken though.

    This morning I started my day with a visit to Garden of the Gods (AFTER coffee of course).
    20171112_203101.jpg 20171112_203155.jpg
    I have a lot more pics on my camera....some amazing formations. I wish I wasn't hurt because walking that would have been SO MUCH BETTER!

    From there I started my journey to Alma, but made a few stops on the way.

    1st stop ruined my childhood thoughts....
    20171112_140724.jpg 20171112_140712.jpg
    Why? Just why? The North Pole isn't supposed to be in Colorado!!!!

    Then I was off again and stopped at the Florissant Fossil Beds.

    Continuing on....

    and finally to Alma.....
    20171112_163925.jpg
    Tiny little town....loved it! It only has the hwy going through it paved from what I saw. Everything else is dirt. I stopped at a little store and picked up some gifts for my girls. Store owner was a lovely lady with a very loving dog who greyed me at the door. I really liked it up there....a lot. I would love to love close to a small town like that (I want to own a small ranch....so can't live in a town with that). From there I went to Breckenridge and looked/wandered around. Didn't really take any pics....but it was really cool!

    I've already started making a trip itinerary for when I can being my girls up here. They will love it!

    Al-Mart is a great little general store. Definitely a local appreciation. Glad you made it up there. It's a gem hidden away from riff raff

    Still rocking the stock height.
    Great pictures! Looks like you are having a great time. I need to get back up there, have not been since high school, I tore both ACL's while I was there. Will wait for my boys to get older before we go. Your girls should love it there.
