Upon arriving in CO, we knew we were going to park outside of the Aqua Hot building for our class, so we wanted to try to boondock somewhere for a day or 2. We drove straight to our friend Dave’s house and parked in the school parking lot across the street. Since it was a Friday night we figured we would be pretty safe. To say the least, they were surprised to see this big rig pull past their house. We all went to dinner at a great bbq place. Visited for a few.
He has one dog that is getting pretty old now but holding his own. Since Jen had lived with Dave for a short time, we sent her pics. 
They happen to be dog sitting Vicki’s parent’s dog. He was happy to have someone to play with, Sadie. They took him home the next day, but we all still visited until we drove over to the parking lot to await our class.
Our class was on repairing the Aqua Hot units but to learn how they worked. While it is basically a small version of an oil fired water heater and boiler, Rob was all too familiar with most of it and I knew pretty much nothing. So you understand, this little device sits in one of the bays in the belly of the RV. It provides hot water – constantly, which is pretty awesome. It also provides heat for us in the cold weather. It can not do both at the same time and the water takes first place. The unit is run by the same diesel that runs our motor and generator.
After the leaving, we went on to visit our friends from Longmont. We parked at the county Fairgrounds Campground – which is a 1st come, 1st parked place with no reservations. You can only park there a max of 14 days in a calendar year, They have water and electric hook-ups, but the sewer you had to do at their dump. So as we had dry camped a little before getting here, we felt it was best to empty out what we had in our holding tanks before parking for our 14 days. We had found a spot we wanted and I left the car parked in it for safe keeping as there were only 8 longer pull-throughs.
Sadie enjoyed all the grass to lay in as well as all the attention she was getting from everyone. 
We saw various friends, 
went to church a few times, out to eat lots of times while visiting as well as some home cooked meals. All in all, Rob & I really felt at home there in CO, warm welcoming place – almost didn’t want to leave.
But the adventure must continue.
