    Hey! TJ let me "Mansplain" this to you. When your Wife asks do you like my shirt ,dress, hair, cooking, etc. the answer is always YES!

    Watching your pups enjoying life on the road came at the right time. We just had to send our best friend of sixteen years across the Rainbow Bridge. She spent most of her life exploring great places all across the US in the RV and Colorado was right at the top of the list of favorite places. Thanks for bringing a little peace to my soul.

    I really like the style of the pullover - and the color. We’ll have to stop in Leadville sometime and pick one up for me. Bonus, TJ can feel like he got something new to wear since he hasn’t worn that flannel shirt in awhile ;) Have fun out there you two.

    Thanks for the tour. I stayed at the Delaware Hotel there a couple years ago. Had a nice steak at a saloon there that night. Hard to breath just walking the streets at that altitude. Never heard of a Earthroamer but now I know enough to look at them unimpressed.

    Oh!, how I loved our visit to Leadville many years ago! Such history! Yea, unfortunately, I now have COPD and am having a great deal of trouble breathing over 5000 ft in altitude. Really sucks, as Colorado has so many lovely places to visit, all above 5000 feet, AND we love, love, LOVE Colorado. We, in fact, planned on moving there in retirement...glad we didn’t! Your videos are such great quality....great composition, “cutting”, and perfect music to accompany them. Thank you for allowing me come along with you! 🌲🏜🐶🏞🐻

    I found your channel when doing research on Yuma, AZ. Checking out the other videos I came across Leadville, CO. Great job on this video & happy you were able to get into Melazona. Love the color on you. I've lived in Leadville for over 16 years. I have a 40 ft Class A DP, in fact, I was just up the road from your camp site about a week before you arrived judging by the Aspens colors. Eventhogh I live in the area I still get out to that location evey year to drycamp for a few weeks. An interesting note about Melazona, early in the pandimic when PPE were in short supple and everyone other company was laying off people they stayed open, and started making mask and giving them away to the local 1st responders, hospitals and Dr offices.

    Chili sounds good! It is getting colder here in KY. I was raised in Louisville, KY, here to Cincy, OH they put spaghetti in the chili. It is a german thing I think. My wife and I lived in KC KS, for 14 years and we got used to southwestern style chili, no spaghetti, with green and red peppers and multiple types of beans. One thing I still do from my elementary school days and being raised in Louisville, we always dunk a peanut butter sandwich in the chili. My sister in law puts spoon dollops of it in hers. If you don't di it. I recommend you try it. My wife has got her recipe down pat. Just enough juice to dunk a thick peanut butter sandwich. Yum Yum. Great video.

Great area🤙. Agree with the security system, in our minds you’re “keeping honest people honest”. Sharing is hard but apparently “borrowing forever” is easy 😂🤣. Good stuff y’all 👍

The best is later on when she and I are laying in bed together, watching your videos, the chili beans kick in and it sounds like the battle of Trafalga, LMAO.....

    Glad you stopped in Leadville, Turquoise Lake water level looked to be way down. So I grew up in Leadville in the 60's, 70's, and the area. Lake County is vastly different. When Climax Molybdenum mine shut down, early 80's, The town almost died and the EPA, Superfund cleanup started. Now it is a tourist town and bedroom community for Summit, Eagle counties and ski resorts. No exploring old mines for gold and valuables, trekking through the old mines and mill sites like Oro City. One last thing during my time in Leadville the elevation was 10,200 feet, before GPS. Looking forward to your next post.

It’s grown lots since I spent time there. Is fish hatchery there also that’s worth visiting. Great time of year to visit . Trees are looking gorgeous. Thanks for sharing. Aspen also great to visit as it’s pretty close
