Today’s blog post comes to you all the way from 10,000 feet elevation, or the Cripple Creek KOA (just think of how awesome that would read if the K were a C in this case).
The Cripple Creek KOA is the highest KOA in the nation. And, for only $22, you can get a hoodie that says that too.
Yesterday’s drive tested me big time. I have a tendency to get a little woozy in the car, and grading and reading essays just wasn’t in the cards. I can’t even read a book “for fun.” Toss in driving through a downtown area, pulling a 30 foot camper, inclines, sudden stops, and a guard rail on one side of the road while mountains were on the other.
I might have looked green, like this emoji ? but I couldn’t even look in the mirror. At one point Sam said, “hey, look out your window and take a picture.”
Yeah, right.
I know at that point I was just holding my phone up with the camera open. Not even looking at what I was taking a picture of.
The KOA is nice. 
When we pulled in, I had the image of me climbing out of the truck, kissing the ground, and never wanting to go on the route we took again. Mountains + Camper = Nervous Cathrine.
Today we are off for an adventure. I’m prepared for the drive through mountains, I think.
