This trip was one hell of an experience!

Day 1: June 8, 2011

The day was filled with traveling. We flew into Denver's airport around noon and waited to get picked up by the convoy until about 3. We were rollin deep with a suburban and two 15 passenger vans. Once we got into the van it truely set it, my van was great. I'm very satisfied with the people in it not to say any other combination of people wouldn't work, the entire class is cool. So we drove through the prarie with the rocky mountains in the background. This was getting me so pumped for the rest of our trip to come. I hadn't ever seen scenery like this before. Eventualy we began driving into the mountains into some elevation, we were all silent. Then the chaperon Dave asked, "are you guys tired or just takin in the scenary?" The moment we arrived at our campsite I saw with a doubt the most beautiful site of my life. It was the sun setting behind the rockies. We took some pics and then hurried to set up camp before it got too dark to see. Once we were set up we had our discussion on energy as tomorrow we will be getting a tour at National Renewable Energy Lab in Boulder. Right as we finished the discussion the rain began and a nasty storm hit in the middle of the night.
