The good and bad of RV travel

I sat at the Mercedes dealership in Littleton from 7:30 this morning to 2:30 getting the oil leak fixed and in the process discovered some other needed repairs at a tune of $1200.  But let me tell you, they have one clean shop and the nicest service writers. Reid found them for me as I was traveling back down from the mountain leading to Pike's Peak.  I'm very thankful that the one of few Mercedes dealerships in the country was close by when I needed it and that I could drive the rv their without a tow.

After spending the better part of the day there, I found the last spot at Clear Creek RV park right on a beautiful rushing creek in Golden, Colorado (see view from site below) t's operated by the city of Golden which is unique. It's much better than the RV park I stayed at last night in Colorado Springs. 

I'm sitting in an eclectic coffee house as I type this watching it rain while drinking a a hot cup of lemon chamomile tea.   I consider it a just reward given my RV troubles of the last two days. 

Once it stops raining, I'll ride my bike the half mile back to the Navi.

I suppose the reality of this trip is there will be good days and bad days.  Instead of making lemonade, I ordered a lemon tea.
