Tuesday, May 18th Lamar, CO

Well, we are becoming quite the “church campers”. After arriving in Lamar and looking around for a place to park for the night we ended by driving by the local Church of Christ on College Rd. The minister, Bill Ferris, happened to be there so we stopped and introduced ourselves and chatted with him a bit. The building there is a work in progress. They are in the process of adding a large auditorium to the current remodeled structure. The original building was a bar they have converted into a nice worship area. The new addition will expand their seating capacity then the current seating space will be used as a fellowship area. Anyway, since the building had lots of space around it, we asked if we could spend the night. Bill was very gracious and told us that would be fine. We were even able to plug into the electric at an outside outlet. There was an RV park just down the road called Country Acres that was a cross between a gravel pit and a dust bowl. We opted for the church parking lot. Gotta love being self-contained!

After getting settled, we went over to the ball park a short distance away and took in part of a Little League baseball game! We came back to the trailer, fixed some popcorn, tethered the phone and brought up the PBS website. We watched the building of Hoover Dam, an episode of An American Experience. I bet that sounds boring, huh? :o) Actually it was quite interesting and we just added Hoover Dam to our ‘must see’ list. Not much to report on a travel day, just another 200 miles of driving.

Stay tuned!
