Was a dream come true. Since i was little. Had an amazing time. Timelapses will come soon of the drive through the mountain passes etc...

Sadly, the panorama 360° shots are too large for r2r uploads. Unless im doing it wrong... :shrugs:

Beautiful pictures Rich, thanks for sharing :)

Beautiful pictures Rich, i just love America and need to get back out there when I can for some more RV adventures, I’ve toured all over the place.

If you get chance go up Pikes Peak on the little train. Its so high up you get oxygen deprivation, it’s over 14000ft high. I was wondering why do I feel a little lethargic, I thought it was the beer from the previous night! Lol. It’s also cold up there because of the height and I went in summer.
Thanks shaun,
We were in Winter Park, north of Pikes peak by a few hours. We did a few mountain passes and waterfall chasing stops.

The west is vast and untouched in many places still. Rv'ing is the best way to do it, hands down. An rv trip in alaska is on my bucket list.

Beautiful pictures Rich, thanks for sharing :)

Looks like a good time was had by you guys. Thanks for sharing the pics

Thanks guys and you're welcome. Nice to have a spot to share :)

ZoaPlays garden coming along. Have lost 4 frags so far to asterinas and who knows why else.. they melt for no reason sometimes. Meh...

Big day of husbandry planned... house is gonna stink of vinegar.
  1. Gyres
  2. Ato pump
  3. Full testing
  4. Kalkwasser ato refill
  5. Side glass razor scrape

Also, the harlequin is still mia. Even after lights out no sign. Its been a few months it feels. And the asterinas are everywhere. I have decided i am going to pull the zoas all out and into the QT for a fallow run. And then begin the process of selling them.

@thejuice24 was kind enough to let me borrow a prime hd in the meantime. Thanks sir.

Welp, all is done on the list except for tearing apart the zoa rock and getting them in qt for sale. Did a 15g wc before Colorado and put the tank water into the QT to help match #'s for the zoa and palys to be transferred without issue.

Sucks cuz i really planned and took the time for the zoa garden, and genuinely was satisfied with how it came out.

Asterinas are buggers :(

It’s easy have fat fingers and auto correct on an iPad. Add in the bonus that I’m not a R2r supporter anymore ( figure I’ll get the free year when I get excellence someday) so I can’t edit posts anymore and bing ya got walks instead of walls ;)
