We did laundry all day today because we had quite a bit. I also made Whole Wheat Bread. Daniel and I both got other things done which have been on our to-do lists for a while.
We also got an update on the Tesla. Estimated completion date is next Wednesday. Luckily, we will still be in the area next week.

We went back to Colorado Springs, CO to do some more exploring. We drove up to Pikes Peak. It was a beautiful drive. We experienced a 35°F decrease in temperature and it snowed. The peak is at 14,115 feet with only 60% oxygen compared to sea level. We definitely felt lightheaded as we walked around the summit.
On the way out we stopped to hike a trail with the boys. It was so beautiful and the boys really enjoyed it and so did Daniel and I.
We stopped at The Joint (inside Avenue 19) in Colorado Springs for dinner. It’s in a trendy food court with a bar in the seating area. We both enjoyed an orange IPA while eating our sandwiches and reviewing today’s photos.

After our Pikes Peak adventure yesterday, we were tired. It’s nice that our campground is quiet. It does see a lot of overnight stops so it must be on a major travel path.

We started the morning off with a county-wide loss of power but it was restored within two hours. With the power restored I was able to use my new hairdryer which I love. It dries my hair so quickly and makes is straight. I love that I don’t have to mess around with a hairdryer and a brush. If you’re looking to upgrade your hair styling routine, I highly recommend the Revlon One-Step Volumizer Enhanced 1.0 Hair Dryer and Hot Air Brush.
We drove to Manitou Springs, CO but it was very crowded due to a wine tasting event so we went to Old Colorado City and walked around. It was a fun town to explore. We window shopped and went to the library.
The highlight of the town were the public restrooms – everything was automated by pushing a button, from the doors to the toilet paper dispenser. It looked like a large airplane bathroom. It even talked and warned me I had 10 minutes before the door opened.
Next we went to American Classics Marketplace which is a huge antique mall. The booths were haphazardly arranged and we got a little lost. We didn’t even look at everything it was so big.

Today is our last day in Seibert, CO and our next campground only has electric hookup so we did a lot of laundry and batch cooking.

Golden Gate Canyon State Park, Golden, Colorado
Today is a travel day. We are going west to stay at a Colorado State Park in the mountains at 9000 feet elevation. It is a beautiful campground with lots of trees. We have really missed trees. We love our Tennessee property, which is currently being developed, but we have agreed to remain open minded as we travel. If we find an area we really like, we may consider it. One thing we are both firm on is trees. We must have property with a lot of big trees.
