Touchdown

We arrived 20 mins early at the Denver International Airport. The weather was warm and dry, very dry. One is constantly thirsty around here. Freakishly so.

We picked up our rental, a Ford Expedition (free upgrade). Drove to Slee Off Road to find our trucks in great shape (in my mind, arrival was not entirely complete until several items had been checked from my mental check list: 1. Our checked luggage showed up at baggage claim undamaged. 2. We showed up at Slee's and found no broken glass near the vehicles (the FJs had been left outside for the niight), and 3. There was no pool of oil under my truck (I noticed a small leak in the new rear diff the night we shipped; looks like Christo's guys took care of it). So, at around 1300 hrs local time, we had made it).

We had dinner at a great little Mexican place near our Best Western hotel. La Mariposa. Great food. Great margheritas. Totally recommend it

I forgot to bring my laptop in the confusion of loading the car this morning. Typing from my phone is a PITA. Oh well.

Staying warm has been easy! Temperatures here in Denver have been in the 90s. (But it's a dry heat...)
