John discovered the antifreeze is still leaking so we packed up and drove down to Denver to the Cummings to have them repair the same thing again. Third trip there first to replace hoses and second to fix antifreeze leak, and now again. We have had really good luck with Cummings before. They located the loose hose clamp and then they checked every other connection they had made the first time we were in there. We spent the night at Cummings just to make sure that it was not leaking anymore.
The bus parked at Cummings, plugged into their hookups. A huge storm storm was coming in. John picked more oregano when we went by the house on the way and it is now drying on the bed.
The tornado sirens when off and where do you go when you are in an RV when a tornado comes? No where here. . . But the storm passed with out sucking us up. There was some big hail too. Then a nice rainbow on the bus. Our pot of gold.
We met Cecil Stump ( a good friend of my brothers from Cody,Wyo), and my brother Jerry for dinner. It was nice to see them. On the way back to Dutch George we stopped and toured EarthRoamer. www.earthroamer.com. They are made just north of Denver in Thornton. They are all custom made on a Ford club cab truck frame-so they are all different. They are designed to be self contained for the back country with solar. No generator or propane. If the solar is not enough you start the truck engine to generate power.
They are incredibly well made, for off road travel. If we had ordered one today it would be ready April 2015 since they are all custom ordered and there is a back log. John with Katy our tour guide examining a brand new one. It is 28 feet long. Here is the inside of it-very luxurious . They cost between $26o,ooo-500,000 depending on what you want on them or what size, and used from $100,000-$400,000. We looked at a couple nice used for $150,000.
Very fancy and very sturdy. They are all electric. The one problem we saw was that they have a 90 gallon water tank and only a 29 gallon gray water tank and only a few gallon black tank. Not sure where all the waste is supposed to go. After that we drove back to Dutch George campground on the Poudre river. John wants to do some more boating and this is the closest to Fort Collins first come first serve campground. The rest are all reservations and they are full every weekend all summer. We are in the spot next door to the one were in last time, more trees.
Sunset this evening.
I walked along the river and photographed more flowers. Senecio, alder cones, alfalfa, sumack, penstamen, cinquefoil, yucca and something I don’t know what is.
Scarlet guara, mustard, narrow leaf cottonwood catkin, the one I don’t know, yucca, water on leaf and flowers of same bush.
Huge green bug on the yucca, cinquefoil, yellow evening primrose and a dup of the ones I don’t know.
