Travel the USA

After the country re-opened after Covid-19, we are
"On the Road Again."
Please enjoy the 'armchair travels' and feel free to make comments.

In September of 2019, we made the
'epic' trip to the east coast for the first birthday of our grandson Evan.
Since Evan's birthday is in September, we decided to join a 29 day RV Caravan for the New England fall color. The tour starts in Maine and ends in Niagara Falls. All told, we did about 12,000 miles with the new truck and trailer.

Eagle Lake Campground and "High Tea" at the castle

Eagle Lake Campground
This was the "extra gift" to Glen Eyrie.
300 acres as a gift - as long as they would use it for a youth camp.


It's fun to sit and relax and see the games and activities they have up here.

A new zip line is being installed for next year's camp.

These cabins sleep 7 campers and a counsellor.
Can you imagine the youngsters with no heat, electricity, or wi-fi??
Many games and steep terrain at the 9,000 foot level keep the kids active.



The view from the Infirmary



They think that this is the original hunting cabin of General Palmer.



If we come here to serve next year, Lou will enjoy fishing.
They say that all the fish are 18"-22" and the fishing vehicles are provided!



HIGH TEA at THE CASTLE




Our "tea" menu includes one item from each of the 3 trays.

Bottom
Egg salad sandwich, Goat cheese sandwich, Canapé with shrimp and cucumber.

Middle
Strawberry scone, strawberry butter spread.

Top
Honey-lavender mouse, Pistachio macaroon


For a small amount of food, it was very filling.
(Probably won't do that one again)
