Leave Estes Park around 5pm. with our mileage at 1191.5 MILES from CT.
About 8:30 pm arrive in Castle Rock for dinner and gas. Then very heavy rains around Larkspur through Monument Hill. The rains become so intense that we can not see much past our windshields. Water is splashing from under both sides of the car. There is no highway light. We pull off onto an off ramp to wait out the heaviest parts. Another hour or so later we arrive at our hotel.
Check into a dumpy looking Travel Lodge in the heavy rain. No details needed. We make it work and offer gratitude that we are out of the rain in at least comfortable beds.
Mileage so far: 1346 mi.
Today drove: 140 miles. Should have been a 2 1/2 hour (driving) trip that turned into a 4 hour drive plus 1 hour out of the car resting, eating. Long end of the day.
