Deluge, Driving, and Denver


This morning there were a few delays with rain, the trailer/van load balancing, and then trailer lights.  We ended up going to US Rents It to get lights fixed concluding it was faulty wiring on the van.  Once fixed, we hit the road only 2.5 hours behind.  After getting outside KC, the rain stopped and sun came out.   

We found with the load and trailer (counting Kansas wind of course) that we were getting about 140 miles to a tank of gas (14 gal or so).  This didn't dampen our spirits though and we had some fun as a few of the boys acquired nicknames right off the bat!  We have Cookies and Cream (Christian), Super Monkey (Will), and Falsetto (Zach).

We arrived in Denver at our first nights stay at around 11pm.  Good first day.  Pics following

We went over to El Yunque rain forest.  They have a visitor center, lots of hiking trails, and a few waterfalls to visit.  We did a quick road side lunch and there were some great times admiring the beauty of the area.

We left the beach around 5pm and stop...
