Day 12 – June 30, 2019

Our crummy motel worked out just fine. We all slept well, got our electronics charged, and got all cleaned up. Best of all, our van was not touched during the night.

Kathy chose to visit the Celestial Seasoning factory in Boulder for a tour. We had visited here during a prior Big Trip and we enjoyed it. Unfortunately, both times the plant was not operating. But at least Kathy got to sample some of their product.

We finished our brief stay in Denver with a quick stop at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. The museum has exhibits mostly about climate change. We spent about 20 minutes here.

We left Denver and headed for the endless flatlands that lie to the east. We ended up in Seibert, Colorado. To learn more about Seibert, look up “middle of nowhere” in the dictionary. There is one gas station and one paved road. Our campground is on a dirt road. The place was clean and tidy and the owner was very nice.

Every night we say we are going to play games in the tent and fall asleep early. The only times we played games was the night of the wind storm and the night we were savagely attacked by the water cannon. So we are a little nervous about playing games before bed. And we never go to bed early. No matter, we are just doing what we want to do and figuring things out as we go.
