Denver Visit

My visit to the Denver area is coming to a close; I've enjoyed seeing my friends in Denver and hopefully, the inverter issue on my AS is fixed. The dealer replaced the wire from the battery to the inverter; suggesting that the old wire was not heavy enough gage. I'll find out whether this fix works when I start to dry camp.

My Nephew's HS graduation and subsequent party were nice and it was good to see my nephews Jon and Brandon, my niece Jen, and my sister Jean and her husband Ron.  I owe a big thanks to my sister and her husband for letting me park in front of their house (and use their shower:) for a couple of days. With the Airstream, I can see the value of having relatives and friends scattered throughout the country; evidently parking in front of the homes of friends and family is common in the RV community.

In addition to attending my Nephew's graduation, seeing friends and family, and getting the AS fixed, a big goal of this trip to Denver was fixing my computer. While they were unable to fix the failing hard drive, Apple was able to save about 25,000 of my photos; however, I've lost all structure and organization in my iPhoto library, many of my contacts, documents. For $2,300 (includes 3 year warranty coverage - learned the hard way this is essential for Macs), I now have a new Apple laptop and an Airport Time Capsule for backup. I was disappointed at the level of expertise (or lack thereof) of technicians at the Apple Store at Park Meadows mall so guess I'll have to figure a lot of this computer stuff out myself; luckily, I have time:)

My plan is to leave Denver tomorrow or the next day for the Western Slope.
