We left Alumafandango this morning and headed south a bit. We are now at Mueller State Park with a cool view of Pike's Peak. Gorgeous park! This is our new spot: We have no AT&T cell service, medium weak Verizon data service, and no Sprint, so we'll see if we can work…

We left our little isolated perch on the edge of Price Canyon this morning after trying to work with VERY clunky internet for far too long. We had a tiny bit of Sprint data service (whoa! the card that never gets ANY service ANYWHERE) and a tiny bit of Verizon…
