Denise and Rick Cunningham

Like many boomers we're planning the "next chapter". We live a fairly chaotic life in Georgetown in Washington DC. I'm a former fashion executive and journalist. Rick's an engineer and computer scientist. We're about ready for a little change of pace. Travel... perhaps moving to warmer climes ...and definitely savoring more moments. We never set out to buy an RV...matter of fact, we had never even been in one and I definitely don't camp. But, now, with more time and a growing aversion to the insults of air travel, we bought a 40' motor coach. Our grandson, Ian, named it Gigantor. We call it Tor for short.

We're seeing things you just can't from the air and finding that we've so much to discover on this continent. In the past two years, we've taken three marvelous six-week trips. This time, we're "chasing the sun for as long as it fun". We left on October 5, 2009. We'll see how long we last!

We're searching for great places to stay, sights worth seeing, golf courses worth playing, great restaurants, shopping, farmer's markets. We're on the road in search of the high road.

On to Boulder

August 2-7 –Arrive in Boulder for a nice long visit with Rick’s Dad; and brother Jim, sister-in-law, Linda and kids. It’s Linda’s birthday and the festivities continue for the next few days. Have a wonderful boulder5time, mostly just visiting. The most dramatic part is getting Tor in their driveway. Nephew Jason saves the day by guiding Rick in. Getting out was quite a show…Jason was at work..Rick was on his own!

We drive to Lander, WY and arrive at a godforsaken RV park whose website showed a beautiful lake wyoming cell phoneview with a setting sun in the mountains. There are mountains…and the sun does set. But the lake is only visible if you stand on Tor maybe with a 20 foot ladder on top. This is Rick trying to get a cell phone connection!
