Prepare for Take-Off!

"Estes Park, Colorado - Gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park", the advert proclaimed.

I can't stand it anymore. I thought I was above the disappointment of being stuck in the East; apparently not. But...how to pull it off?

Hotels? Who needs them? In Nashville, I can crash with the ex's sister. In Oklahoma, my dingo-owning colleague. Third day: ESTES!

Rambling through the wood, camping beneath stars...remember the fishing tackle! What could beat a fresh-caught meal over the campfire?

I'll be home in under a month.

Rocky Mountains, here I come!
