When we were in Colorado this spring with our trailer we stayed 2 nights in Durango, 2 nights in Alamosa, 2 nights in Colorado Springs and 3 nights in Estes Park. This was the last of April through the 3rd of May. We never got over towards Leadville. Travel safe.

[@susanKWithAnE]

That Horizons has all the bones of an awesome movie. I don’t know if was the editing or what but it seemed like several movies thrown together and it was hard to see where it was going. But such beautiful settings! Loved that, and the acting. But I wasn’t quite tracking on the stories.😊

[@TheCampulanceMan]

That's exactly what I felt - it was hard to follow at times and the ending montage was very odd...

Hi Lefty and David! Beautiful scenery in/around Buena Vista, Salida, and Leadville. We’ve had Starlink since the beginning of the beta testing 3.5 years ago and it’s been fantastic, especially now that we’re permanently off-grid about half-an-hour South of the South Rim visitors center at Grand Canyon National Park. Hope you can stop by here for at least an overnight on your way to/from Quartzsite one of these years. I’ll get down to the Q this Winter to stop in and see you two, since we’re now settled into our property near GCNP. All Our Best, Jim, Mary, and The Kitties

David, I have STARLINK and am finishing up my trip to Alaska via Canada. I don’t know what I would have done without it in places like Deadhorse and Tuktoyatuk. I had full service through the entire Dempster Highway and the Dalton, two of the most remote roads in the world. My builder put it on my roof because the new ones are much better than the old ones. He said there are so many more satellites in the sky now that you don’t have to move them around. I have used it while in motion. I had in motion use under the old plan. The thing is awesome. Get it. It is worth every penny. Walk in peace, my friend. And GO PATS!!! 😜

Going to a out of the way phone repair center in the sticks, I was waiting for the "Banjos" to start playing...:) Last week while traveling on a hwy I don't normally travel (two lane) there was a guy towing a travel trailer (out of State) camping in the fast lane having people pass him in the slow lane. So I went around him and it triggered him into tailgating me and just something I didn't expect. So I changed lanes to the slow lane and he tried his best to cut me off and put me in the ditch. So I just slowed down to give him space, heck I'm retired I have no place I need to be to anytime soon. After several "Brake checks" he finally came to a complete stop in the slow lane. I started to look to see if I could back up or change lanes to escape from this clown. Next I saw this huge man like a lumber jack welding a tire iron approaching my car, I yelled out my window to just get in your truck and drive. He said he was here to ruin my day. With no other avenue of escape I got out of my car and pulled my sidearm, once he saw my pistol he ran back to his truck and sped off. Thankfully I live in a State that is pro 2A. How has American drivers changed so much that they think it's okay to stop in the middle of the freeway to confront someone? This is insane.
