Wolverines Out West, Leadville, CO - July/Augsut, 2004

The Wolverines decided to try a different location for the WOW tour in 2004 and selected Leadville. Phil and Linda Kittredge, Al and Layne Kittle, Lee and Cec Murrah, Mark Lott, and John (Woody) Helwig trekked to Leadville where they were joined by Colorado residents Terry and Sue Schmidt.

We stayed at Camp Wally at Newton, Iowa the first night on the road. We all enjoyed a great pasta dinner in our motor home while watching a blue moon rise over the Iowa cornfields.
