We made it to Alpine from Boulder without incident. It was a beautiful day all the way. The only wrinkle was that on I-80 between Laramie and Rawlins, (we learned all this later) there had been an accident in which two trucks had collided, jackknifed, and then got hit by numerous vehicles including a truck carrying 22,000 gal. of flammable liquid which caused a huge fire. About 16 vehicles were involved with one death and many injuries. The interstate was closed and we were detoured on to Rte. 30 for about 60 miles. We are fortunate we were not involved but our hearts go out to those who were. It can happen any time, anywhere.
We got to Alpine by a little after 9pm, Max was asleep but we talked with Paul and Jenny and now are about to retire.
Cynthia got a photo of all of us last night in Boulder. Hope she can eventually forward it.
