Holidays on the road are something Darrel and I are still trying to figure out how to manage. When you have a home, you hunker down and stay put....however, when you are living in a RV and staying in a RV park, that is where the city dwellers go for recreation. So the crowds get larger and the roads and tourist spots get busier.
One thing we've learned is that you want to be there before the holiday weekend (or day) and you want to plan to stay for several days after -- remember, we made that mistake in North Dakota staying at a busy spot and trying to depart on July 5 ?!?!?!?
So we have finally decided that we do chores or activities around the RV that need attention like cleaning and reorganizing, cleaning out the truck, etc. Yes, we still do have to clean bathrooms, clean the refrigerator, clean floors and throw rugs, sweep out the rocks and dust off the dust....plus there are always bills to pay and I can take a few minutes to blog (ha ha).
But we did go get our walking sticks at a place called Pool Table between Creede and South Fork, and saw some beautiful scenery.. so I'll share some nice pics
Darrel sitting on the tailgate peeling bark off our Aspen walking sticks....looks simple, right?
Notice he is using a utility knife and we already had one slice to the thumb!!!!
This is the road we drove up and the mountains in the distance.
We nestled in between mountain ranges and the trees lined the road up the mountain.
We were probably near 10,000 feet elevation and on the way down, looking over the
Rio Grande River snaking through the valley.
Darrel thought we ought to try mountain climbing, yeah, right, maybe next time!!!
Believe it or not, we have 3 weeks left in Colorado and then head out for North Ranch Escapees Park -- where we are lot sitting for the winter.
We wish you a Happy Labor Day, sending hugs and kisses,
Susan & Darrel
