It rained all night and drizzled all day and was only about 57. We started the day with a list of tasks as well. Since we are going to be camping high elevations - over 7500' - it seemed best to call in a prescription for Rick's high altitude sickness prevention. That meant we had to be sure to stop at a drug store when we hit Pueblo.
Then, as we were putting in the big slide, we noticed that some of the rubber gasket had come off and was drooping into the living room. Not a good thing when it is raining. When we closed up it seemed like the outside facing pretty much would keep the rain out, but it was a problem to be solved. I found a Camping World in Colorado Springs, but they could not work on the rig until Tuesday. They referred us to someone in Pueblo. By lunch time the rubber gasket had slid out about 2 feet. YIKES! We drove endlessly through rain and boring 2 lane highway to Pueblo and YES they were able to jam it back into the slip. They told us it could come out again, though, so we will have to keep an eye on it. Then we beat it over to the pharmacy and were able to fill the prescription.
The campground tonight is right on the freeway and noisy, but we gave ourselves a night out at a Mexican restaurant and a little grocery shopping. Now it is raining again. Tomorrow we tackle our first mountain pass and then get to the Grand Sand Dunes National monument. I am hoping for some sun but may not see it as I squeeze my eyes shut when we climb over the pass.
We are both beat! Traveling is hard work.
