For most of the trip everything went smoothly. Until now. We pulled into RMNP around 8:45pm. There was no ranger at the entrance station so we just kept driving. We hit a dead-end and had a choice to make: left or right. We went right. The wrong way. There were no signs for the campgrounds and we drove up into the mountain. It was now pitch black and we had no idea where to go. I'm watching my transmission oil temperature rise and we chug up the mountain. At 12,000' there was a scenic overlook with people star gazing. We pulled over and a person told us the campgrounds were at the bottom of the mountain.
Down we went. We just kept driving in the dark hoping for the campground to present itself. We finally came upon the camp ground and setup camp in the dark. At 10:30 we all just crashed. Whatever more needed to get done will have to wait till the morning.
