Crazy Weather Day-Day 15

Left Wheat Ridge, Colorado this morning with the temperature near 70F and sunny, left Rocky Mountain National Park with it raining and lightning and temperature at 62F, drove through Willow Creek Pass on route 125 with it snowing and temperature at 40F, drove just South of Rand on route 125 with unbelievable winds, and arrived in Rawlins, Wyoming with it sunny and 80F.  I am not sure what other weather conditions can exist.  Is this what they call Colorado weather?  Today was spent visiting Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP).  One could only travel 16 miles up Trail Ridge Road to Milner Pass on the South entrance to the Park.  I remember having this issue two years ago with some of the Northern Parks.  As a result the planned route of exiting RMNP through Estes Park had to be changed.  The gasoline purchased was priced at $3.899/gallon and $3.599/gallon today.
The plan is to travel further North and West to visit the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone the next few days. 
Night everyone!
