Now in Aguilar, CO but were in Littleton, CO

I'll do a quick update of the last couple days. When I last wrote, on Sunday, we ended up going to Fruita for a couple hours because they had their 7th annual street fair.
Monday we headed for Littleton, CO to visit Marisa and family. We made a few stops on the way because the scenery was just so beautiful. The hills with the changing of the colors was amazing to see. We tried to stop in Veil but couldn't find a big enough place for the rigs and tows, but we did drive thru town.
Monday we got to Marisa's a little after 5pm and got a tour of the house. What a great place they have, the basement is going to be a lot of fun for them to get it arranged just the way they want it. The rest of the house was great too, hell of a deal they got, Dave said to many stairs for him. I can't believe how much stuff they have gotten done in only 7 weeks being there. I told her everyone is visiting almost back to back of each other, and after October it will probably be really quite for a while and then she will get home sick again for everyone. They did very well for themselves and they did what they had to do, I don't know what I'm going to do when Kim moves away from me, it will be hard. Anyway, we went out to dinner with Marisa, Shawn and Inara which was a very nice dinner, it was too bad the day we arrived and saw what the stock market had done, dropped 777 points, none of us were too happy. We even thought about just going to Costco for a hot dog dinner since that's all we could afford, just kidding. The state park we stayed in was a big rip off, we not only paid for camping but then they made us pay for tags for our rigs and our cars, it ended up being $36 a night, which is very high so needless to say that didn't add to our moods either.
Tuesday Marisa and Inara came over to the park because they had never seen the rig, so we had a nice visit then, plus, Marisa got to pick up her house warming gift, and Inara's bday present from Kim and Danny, that we had been travelling with. After Marisa left we drove to Red Rock Amphitheatre, hell of a nice place to visit. We must have been there for 2 hours, very famous place to see, almost every performer has been there, that includes singers and comedians, I believe they started using it in 1910. After that we had to do some shopping then back to the state park.
Wednesday morning after Dave and I took Valley for a walk we decided to ride our bikes around, well, Dave fell again. It seems to happen every time we are stopping, this time he put his right leg down his tires sunk into the sand and down he went. It was almost like in Thousand Trails when I thought he faked the fall. He took all the skin off his right knee and some off his arm and pulled a muscle in his left thigh. Needless to say we have to get him a bike that when he puts his legs down he can touch the ground, he just doesn't have the balance like he use to.
We started to leave at 9am but when the car was hooked up to the rig the lights didn't work, lights blinkers ect. Bob and Dave worked for 1 1/2 hours to get it to work and no go so we left anyway and Bob and Jackie just stayed close to us while driving.
We are now stopped for the night in a place called Aguilar, CO. it is an RV Park on the top of a hill over looking the freeway but a hell of a view all around us. The town we were going to stop in the RV Park was trash, the office wasn't even open it said "Park and pay later" don't think so. We then were headed for Trinidad but lucked out on this RV Park.
We head out tomorrow for Santa Fe New Mexico, wish us luck.
