Friday
Taking a quiet day we explored Fort Collins. We found that
it is the Colorado University town, which gives it an interesting slant. We
took in the main drag, College Ave and then a Walmart. At which point dinner
called, to early for Texas Roadhouse, so we stopped off at Applebee’s.
Saturday
Saturday we just stayed on site for a real quiet day, I went for a run in the morning when the weather was fine and sunny. The weather pattern at the moment is it starts sunny, but thunderclouds develop by the afternoon, which either drop, or don’t drop. Today it did drop, not a lot, but it was accompanied by some wicked gusty winds. The campsite opposite was being used by a family(?) of half a dozen assorted people, they had tents and a gazebo. When the wind came up the gazebo started to make like a kite, so they had four or five women holding onto it for dear life. The thing is that the man (could only see one) just carried on playing with his fire pit These people held on to the gazebo for over an hor in the wind, looking like they were only just surviving. Meanwhile at each corner of the gazebo was guy rope, which they could have used to tie the gazebo down and saved themselves an awful ot of hassle, still it made for an entertaining hour watching these people trying to survive, and one man nonchalantly getting on with this fire making. I would have gone and helped, but on viewing them I knew, just knew that it would be futile.
Today I checked our Verizon usage to find that we had gone
over our 20Gb and would be into what they call ‘Overage’ charges, though I
couldn’t find out what those charges were. So we shut down our internet and are
now reliant on free wifi. It was a very quiet day.
