Just kidding, here's what we've got so far - I'm typing this from Columbia, MO...
Mountains in NC
This is a pretty important part...
We felt welcome, which is good because we spent most of the day there!
A small bit of the rain from today
Next state
Kentucky is preparing us for Kansas tomorrow
This says Welcome to Illinois, I promise!
Not a lot to say about Illinois, well actually there is, but mom always said not to say anything at times like this..
This one says Welcome to Missouri, I promise here as well!
It's 3:30 am, we're going to sleep now...Tim & Sarah

We were asleep, but you passed through about 5 miles south of our house! We live near Kingdom city MO and work in Columbia. Safe travels! See you soon.

Considering where we started, we're pretty much down the street from camp, in Colorado Springs!
Here are some shots from the day's traveling
Missouri
Bridge over Missouri River
Missouri River from the bridge
Kansas
Some of what Kansas had to offer.
Old wind power and new wind power in the same shot
Train
Cattle in the water, cattle in the sand
Welcome to Colorado! I've got to get better at taking pictures of these signs!
Got in just in time for this
Colorado Springs
Colorado Springs is not so friendly to 20' trailers with sleepy drivers. I'm declaring this the only damage of the trip!
We're planning to head to KOA in the morning, but aren't in a hurry, we plan to soak in some Rocky Mtn scenery! See you tomorrow!Tim & Sarah

Yes, indeed. Your pics will have to do for our trip this year for the "drive" aspect since we have to make a short trip and are flying out. See you there!Originally posted by RiverRat

Sorry Rod and Joan, the pictures from today probably aren't gonna make you feel any better! ;-)
We're here! We got into camp around 7:30, took a bit to set up, then Sarah cooked us dinner! Here's how we got here today...
Colorado Springs
Royal Gorge area, Arkansas River
Headed up (way up) to the Continental Divide - Monarch Crest at 11,312. Holy EGTs Batman!
Monarch Crest
back side of Monarch Crest in the rain
Trying to hold 'er back!
Trying NOT to need this!
"Lakes" (Blue Mesa Reservoir in the Curecanti National Rec Area) - They're a little low
Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park
Waggy was a little portly to be dragging around the National Park, don't worry we went back for it!
Montrose
The spacing was perfect to fill two pigs at once!
