Sunriver – It is starting to feel like fall. The nights are getting pretty cold…27 degrees one night. Labor Day Weekend - Marc and Maria stayed at a condo in Sunriver meet with them and we all had a great time at the swimming pool! Brandon, Ben and Ron Tangermann stayed with us in the motorhome. The three fellas spend 3 days bike riding. First day they rode around Crater Lake, 2nd day they rode around Mt. Batchelor and the 3rd day they had to cut their ride short due to a broken cable. Ben and I had fun while the guys were out killing themselves in the heat.

It feels good to be on the road again. We have left Salem and are heading to Denver Colorado. First night on the road in Baker City, OR. Second in Declo, ID, then on to Rawlins, WY for one night. Finally we arrived in Denver, CO where we stayed for a week. We spent time with our friends Bob and Paula Lucas and also spent time visiting relatives. (Uncle Don, Aunt Diane, Aunt Melba, Bill & Barb and their kids, Don & Darlene, Gloria, Danny & Bobby and their families, Aunt Arlene) We made a brief visit to Estes Park in the mountains and even found a farm in Longmont where Mike lived 45 years ago.

While in Denver, Mike spent a day at the races in Golden, CO with his cousin Bill Reeves.
