July 20, 2022 - Georgetown, CO

Today was a nice, leisurely day spent walking and shopping in the downtown of Georgetown. The 2020 Cesus count for Georgetown was 1,100 permanent residents so it was an easy walk. The town rests at over 8,500 feet above sea level keeping the peak summer temperatures in the 70's, very pleasant. It was established in 1859 during the Pikes Peak Gold Rush.

Tonight will be our 3rd and final night at the Hotel Chateau Chamonix. We have really enjoyed our stay here. The owner lives on the 3rd floor and is from Europe. She designed the hotel to reflect European alpine characteristics including a private nook in our room that we open in the morning for our breakfast. 

Tomorrow we head "down" to Denver, the mile high city, to visit our niece Savannah, fill a prescription and visit Revzilla, a large seller of motorcycle accessories. The bike's rear tire is in good shape and it does not need servicing so we won't go to the BMW motorcycle shop. We will be staying in Limon just east of Denver.

Perfect parking spot for the GS - it was reminded of its Bavarian roots
