Deas is starting to laugh at me because every time we go to a new place, I like it so much I say that it’s my favorite place. Well, Ouray is no exception. It’s my new favorite place! And once again we have extended our originally planned stay of 3 nights to 6 nights – … Continue reading Oohing and Aahing in Ouray
Our next stop after Durango was Silverton, which is a very small former mining town. At 9300 feet, it is the 12th highest city in the country! 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!
Before this trip, neither Deas nor I had been to New Mexico. We spent a few days in Santa Fe, and had a great time, but we were ready for something a little different. Since we’d been in a city, we were ready for a few days of quiet and nature. Our first stop was … Continue reading Beautiful Northern New Mexico
Well, after my last post we had a rather unfortunate end to our stay in Santa Fe. I mentioned before that the RV park we were in had a dog park. In general, I am very wary of dog parks and I’m very careful about when I will and will not let my dogs into … Continue reading Doggie drama – and one more night in Santa Fe
We’re wrapping up a 4-night stay and the wonderful Santa Fe Skies RV Park, which was recommended by our friends Sean and Kristy (www.longlonghoneymoon.com.) The park has a great view of the mountains, a nice walking trail, and a fenced in dog park for the pups to get out some energy. During our stay, we … Continue reading Santa Fe – Cuisine, Celebrities, and Canine Craziness
After our tornado-dodging run through central Texas, we were very happy to pull into beautiful Caprock Canyon State Park in Quitaque. The views were stunning and there was a herd of wild bison lounging lazily on the grass right at the entrance as we pulled in. We went on several walks and hikes over the … Continue reading Caprock Canyon State Park
After our stay in Hot Springs, Deas and I were set to head further west by driving through Oklahoma. We were packing up the RV that morning, when the very nice camp host knocked on our door and told us we might want to reconsider our course, because there was severe weather predicted in Oklahoma. … Continue reading Blown off course
