Today we left Pueblo, CO and headed to Lamar. Our travels yesterday took us through Denver....what a large city with massive roadways. However our trusty GPS, Rita Rightway, got us through the city without any problems. Denver sits along the mountains and has lots of interesting sights. As I was told at one time...it's not the destination, but the journey that takes you there that is the most interesting. We made camp outside of Pueblo West. This was an older RV Park that was somewhat run down. However, the lady that runs the place was very friendly and helpful. Our picnic table had a hole in the middle of it and was warped in several directions. But...at least there was a picnic table. The park in Casper, Wyoming where we stayed didn't even have a picnic table and the one we are at tonight south of Lamar, Colorado doesn't have a picnic table either. It seems that the flatter and dustier the site is the less amenities are available.
Colorado has a lot more trees that Wyoming and isn't nearly as windy. It was hot here today, 81F, so we have been sitting in the 5th wheel with the A/C on! Tomorrow we are heading to Boiling Springs State Park in Oklahoma. The plan is to stay there as a home base and then visit a few of the other State Parks that are within driving distance. The one that really interests us is Alabaster Caverns State Park.
I'll be back on here in about a week to update you with pictures and more info about what we have seen and done.
