We have just two weeks to go now until Easter, Beth and I are going away for Easter week. We are doing a circuit of Western Colorado. Starting by going south to Great Sand Dunes National Park for a couple of days before heading west to Ouray in the mountains, north to Glenwood Springs and then east back home again. In five days we will do about 800 miles. Hopefully won't be too bad and there will be a lot of nice views.
