DAY 9

Okay sorry guys, day 8 after hanging out at the bar I found for a while I decided to go to Morraine Park in the Rocky Mountain National Park and it was amazing. Thank you for recommend that. It was beautiful when I woke up I went to look over the mountain and came close to a herd of Elk which was way cool

Estes Park is a cool little town right outside the park that I believe I would definitely visit for a vacation. What a great little town.
While getting gas I ran into a guy (I'm absolutely awful with names!!) He has dedicated his free time to capturing anything he can of Big Foot. Go see him at bigfootlooseusa.Com. I talked with him for about 30min about all the sightings he had and all the evidence. Lucky someone knocked over the coffee cause I needed to head on!!!

I then headed to Denver and wanted to see what kind of celebration they would have for 4/20. All the big stuff was cancelled because of the weather so there wasn't much going on. I did get some gummy bears!!

From there I decided that I would head south to one of the places on my map the sand dunes of Colorado. So I off I went. Lucky I did because a storm came through Denver

I had stopped and picked up the crossrails from Toyota and decided that I was going to re organize the truck while I had daylight also fix my rack. Well I'm hear to tell ya that was a pain in my ass. I finally got the plastic end caps off 1 broke. Then I was trying to slide the rails in and broke the end clips of the new rails. Mind you it's raining and 36° so needless to say I've had it. I decided I would get new cross rails (again) tomorrow and deal with it then. So I cooked the best meal yet

Slept well woke up to mess with the rack. I got everything that was on the rack packed into the truck and decided I was going to try to put the rack inside the truck until I can make it to the Toyota dealership. The rack did not fit into the back of the truck. So, I let a guy at the campground have the rack and now I don't have to mess with it anymore!

Thanks for keeping us entertained. It's especially interesting to me as I'm covering a lot of this in July - couple nights in Estes and RMNP, Denver, Breck, etc. Glad to hear Estes was nice.

Looking at these pics, and reading your posts, makes me more anxious to get out there.
 
I forgot to mention amongst all the chaos of the roof rack. I also found a small leak in my left rear tire which is the opposite of the first tire that I cut. Needless to say I've cut two tires now and haven't even hit rocks.

If coming through CO in early July, I would definitely add Crested Butte to your list. Wild flowers will be in full bloom and Created Butte is one of my favorite summer destinations in CO.
