RV Camping goes to the mountains!

After our two weeks out on the plains of southeastern Colorado, yesterday was moving day! We always say we're going to get an early start, but by the time we: Did Laundry, Bought some donuts at Daylight Donuts (they are REALLY the best!) Dumped and filled our rv tanks, Got Gold, er, I mean Diesel, and did some grocery shopping it was 11:00 am!

Our drive was uneventful, and we are always thankful for that! We found a road that neither of us had been on before so we were in a little bit of an explore mode. It was also the most direct route to our new campsite, and it afforded some awesome views of the high Rockies to the west! We are sharing the National Forest with only one other travel trailer that we've seen.

We had a spectacular thundershower and the rain lulled us to sleep. Such a different environment than where we came from--here the wildflowers are just beginning with the indian paintbrush barely breaking through the soil and the Columbine clusters are only a couple inches tall. The smell of the pine trees is strong and the aspens are leafing out. Temperatures are cooler too, with 39 degrees last night and the possibility of snow tonight....we'll see what tomorrow brings!
