Trip 3 Day 14 -- Dubois Wyoming to Superior, Colorado

Up early to pack and drive from the cabin in Dubois to Allen's pad in Superior, Colorado, which is a suburb of Boulder, which itself is now a northwestern suburb of Denver.   Girls in Dianna's car, boys in Allen's car, mom and dad in dad's car.

Upon leaving the cabin, mom and I quickly discovered that our car had a flat tire.  Bummer.  Fortunately, I had a portable air compressor, so we were able to pump it up, and keep moving.  Dubois, Crowheart, Lander, Rawlins, Laramie, and Cheyenne, Wyoming.  Fort Collins Colorado.  We finally decided to stop in Loveland Colorado where we bought 2 new tires (the old ones had 53,000 miles on them, so I didn't see replacing one side without the other -- radials, you know). 

Drove the back roads from Loveland through Longmont, to Louisville (pronounced Lewisville in Colorado), and met the kids at the Outback Steakhouse in Superior.  Nice game of Catch-Phrase to end the long day.
