11 May – Denver - Colorado Springs

Woke up to snow. We googled the weather and found there was another “winter weather event” in progress in the Denver area. We had planned to go to Colorado Springs, where there is a lot to do, and given we were not overly stoked with the RV Park we were in, we decided to head out. Driving on the interstate highway was interesting. Although the road was clear, there was blowing snow meaning that we couldn’t see further than about 2 car lengths ahead. 

As we headed to Colorado Springs the snow got heavier until there was a good coating of slush on the road. We were very pleased to get into Colorado Springs after nearly 2 hours. We found a good RV Park, with good services and pulled in. Although it was only lunchtime, there was no point trying to see any of the local attractions. We had planned a cog railway trip to the top of Pike’s Peak (14000ft), and a horse ride through the Garden of the Gods, but both those activities were off the agenda. As the afternoon went on the snow got heavier and we were glad to be indoors with the furnace running. We ducked out a couple of times to get some pics and damn it was cold!
