Today we get back on the road and leave Grandma's house in Aurora, CO and drive to Laramie, WY. We'll be passing through Rocky Mountain National Park on the way.
Grandma joined us for this leg of the trip. She'll come with us to California and spend a few days visiting family there.
On the way out of Colorado, we traveled through Rocky Mountain National Park. We drove through part of the park into to Estes Park, then farther up into the park proper. We had a picnic in the park at the Endovalley picnic area.
After lunch we headed back to Estes Park and on our way to Wyoming.
It was a long drive through Wyoming. There is just lots of undeveloped area.
Our goal was a state campground outside of Laramie, WY. When we finally got near the campground, we found that the last 5 miles was a washboard dirt road. We didn't think driving on that road was going to be a good idea, so we opted for something else in Laramie.
We found the KOA in Laramie and decided to camp there. After setting up camp, Carla went to the store for a few more supplies while I did some work and the girls enjoyed the rec room.
With the bugs biting, we decided to eat dinner in the rec room, then clean up and get some sleep. We have more driving tomorrow through Wyoming and into UT at Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area.
8:30 travel time for 294 miles.
