This is trip 15, in 2015! We arrived in Phoenix (AZ) on March 25th and traveled North and East, taking in Jerome, Mogollon Rim, Zuni (NM), El Morro, Farmington, Durango (CO), Ridgway, Black Canyon NP, Breckenridge and Golden. Moving North from there we have been to Fort Collins, Laramie (WY), Cheyenne, Fort Laramie, Chadron (NE), and on to Custer (SD) to explore The Black Hills, as far North as Devil's Tower (WY). From there we have driven East to Dreadwood,then on to pickup our mail in Box Elder before exploring The Badlands NP. We have been to the capital Pierre (SD Capital), before driving North up the Missouri to Bismarck, the capital of North Dakota. We have finished towing by driving via Fargo and Sauk Centre to Minneapolis, where we will clean and store the rig, ready for us when we return for Trip 16 in the Fall (DV). On this trip we have towed the trailer just over 2800 miles.

Golden CO

Tuesday
Well the windshield guy did turn up and has replaced the windshield, haven't tested it yet though.
That about brought us to lunch time. The weather by now had become sunny and warm, so after lunch we took a stroll into town along the lovely riverside walkway. Had a good look round the historic main street and a Coff/T in a small bakery, very nice.
As well as the historic main street and the Clear Creek, Golden, it seems has a lot to offer. There is a beer factory - Coor's, which offers tours. A mountaineering museum, a mining museum, a railroad museum, an outdoor history museum and a town history museum as well as the beautifully appointed parks and the whitewater canoeing  course, all linked by nice smooth concrete pathways. Even though it was only Tuesday there were lots of people out walking, running, fishing, canoeing and hang gliding. It was still lovely and warm, so made for a very pleasant afternoon.
When we got back we found that our new neighbours are New Zealanders here for a mountain biking vacation, doing the loop round I70, Moab, Durango and back to Denver, really nice people.
