Buffalo Bill

Today, we head to Golden, CO with Steve driving our Advanced RV to test out the 2014 Sprinter 4-cylinder engine, 7-speed transmission and the VB air suspension.  It was 20-minutes into the trip before he realized that he was driving a 4-cylinder, not a 6.  We give it a good test going up Lookout Mountain Road to the Buffalo Bill Museum and Grave.  The road is steep and narrow, with a series of 180-degree switchbacks and scary drop-offs.  Steve was impressed with the handling of the 2014 with air suspension and Mike and I were comfortable belted into the rear sofa bed.  At the top we could see the panorama of the Great Plains and the Rockies.  The Museum was well done, illustrating the life and times of William F. Cody and the Old West.  The original posters from his Wild West show were gorgeous. Potential clients, Dale and Mary Beth, welcome us to their beautiful home in Parker, CO, overlooking the desert and mountains.  They have had multiple off road vehicles and currently own a Class B motorhome.  We learned a lot from them about off-roading and adventurous touring.  At the airport restaurant nearby, the six of us enjoy dinner and sharing more travel stories.
