The Rocky Mountains are just as magnificent as we remember, and having never taken this particular route across them before, I'd say they may be better than we remember.
Lets get down to business here.
We left the RV park that is located just off U.S. 6 near Golden. We checked out Golden as we prepared the RV for the trip over the mountain. We also made it to the Post Office, as we said we would, and shipped home nearly 100 pounds of miscellaneous, yet important, papers, books, memorabilia, etc, that we had collected up to now. As we mentioned yesterday, we were concerned with the high temperatures that we had been experiencing and were not sure if we would follow much of the original alignment of U.S. Route 6. As it turned out, when we got to the areas where the original road was tougher than the Interstate, the temperatures were only in the high 50's.
