I did a terrible job of keeping up with this blog last year. Terrible. So in an attempt to get caught up, I present you now with a very long, picture-heavy post that covers some highlights of our time from May – Dec 2017. Get ready. After Yosemite, we headed straight back to the coast … Continue reading Very long catch-up post
After departing Montana, we made a mad dash through Wyoming with two quick overnight stops, and headed towards Colorado. We wanted to spend a week in/around Denver, and decided to try to get into the Clear Creek RV Park, a first-come-first-served park run by the city of Golden. We heard about this park from reading … Continue reading Glorious Golden and a Cross Country Trek
After our wonderful stay in Ouray, it was unfortunately time to move on. We headed first to Grand Junction, where we had an appointment to have our transmission checked out by an Allison Transmission service center. Deas felt like the engine wasn’t properly downshifting, and since it had been a few weeks since we’d spent … Continue reading Sylvan Lake State Park in Eagle, CO

And once again we have extended our originally planned stay of 3 nights to 6 nights – … Continue reading Oohing and Aahing in Ouray

It is a tiny little town, and we found that a lot of the restaurants in town were closed, so we only stayed one night. Shorty got a … Continue reading Silverton and the Million Dollar Highway to Ouray
We are wrapping up our 6-night stay in Durango and I am having a hard time preparing to leave! We have really fallen in love with this cute little town and have thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We had our first RV-guest this week! Our friend Shelly Swanger is driving across country and I convinced … Continue reading Durango to Silverton
We arrived in Durango on a Wednesday afternoon, with little to no knowledge of anything about it. We had picked it because it was an easy drive from our last stop in Pagosa Springs, and for some reason I just liked the name of the city. Well, we have been very pleasantly surprised and have … Continue reading Durango!
After our great stay in New Mexico, we headed north into Colorado. As we passed over the state line, the sign said “Welcome to Colorful Colorado” – and colorful is right! We spent our first night in Pagosa Springs at the Elk Meadows campground. Since we had dry camped for several days, we needed to … Continue reading Colorful Colorado, and our first boondocking experience!
