2000 miles, 8 states, 11,158 feet...

1 power steering pump, and countless stories and friends, we're home! We headed up the steepest part of our journey last night around 7 o'clock Denver time. We climbed the 6% grades at 20 mph with semi's passing on the left. With everything running tip top, our beautiful trusty Trek pulled up in it's covered(yippie) parking space for a about a week. Kelly and I will clean er' up and start moving out of our apartment during this time. We hope to rent this space so we can do some up grades thru February. If not we will head over to a local camp site as we finish out our local jobs here in Colorado. Our little adventure has just begun and we had a small taste of the things to come. We had bumps that lead to great times and people. We'll have a ton more. For now we'll take care of business here and we'll keep posting the progress. Keep watching! You never know what we'll get into.

I have enjoyed following along with yall. I think you need to have that engine checked. It should climb 6% grades a lot better than semi's unless you were pulling something mighty heavy. 20 mph is not good. Did it downshift? Anyway, have fun.
