Motorcycle trip day 3

Talked to Stefan last night (Monday).
They rode high in the mountains, starting at Denver to Estes Park then to the East side of the Rocky Mountain National park.

They paid $10 to drive on a Sky Road that took them up to over 13,000 feet in elevation. Then they went to Grand Lake, to Granby, to Winter Park and to Interstate 70, where they took the Eisenhower tunnel through the mountains. They ended up in the Dillon-Frisco area, where they stayed the night.

The temperature was in the upper 30s to lower 40s at the higher elevations, so they were all decked out in their leather jackets.

The elevation in Dillon is about 7,500 feet, so they went through quite some elevation changes over the day.

Today (Tuesday) they must have been pretty tired at the end of the day, because we didn't get a call with details of where they drove today. When we get details, we'll let you know. So we're a day behind on their itinerary, but we were busy today too. (See other post.)
