Leg 7 is a quick stop in the town of Silt, CO about 45 miles East of Grand Junction on I70. Nice little KOA along the river again and im quite surprised at the price. Usually KOA’s are way overpriced but this has been the cheapest of the Colorado RV spots we’ve stayed. Apparently there …
As planned, we left the Mesa Verde area and headed North this morning on Hwy 145. The drive up was spectacular to say the least. Some RV bloggers recommend the route North through Durango/Silverton on Hwy550 but we found this route to be exceptional. I would like to go through there at some point in …
Today we decided to take a little Friday drive to see some of the area sites. We started out this morning at the crack of 10:30 and made a pitstop at the Burger Boy Drive-in for some breakfast cheeseburgers. After we were sated, we headed out to the Hovenweep National Monument about 41 miles West …
Today we left Pagosa Springs for what should have been a 75 mile 2 hour trip to Mesa Verde. The gods had another thing in mind. We hit freezing rain for a few miles East of Durango which slowed things down a bit. Then on 160 they had a major motorcycle vs Jeep head-on that …
Although pretty, the Great Dunes National Park is quite small, comparatively, and can be enjoyed in just two days for the non-rugged outdoorsy types. We left about 10:00 this morning and made our way to Pagosa Springs via the Wolf Mountain Pass. That was about the steepest, lengthiest up and down grade we have ever …
Today we stuck to plan and headed North to the Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado. We took a brief stop Los Luceros Historic Site just outside of Espanola, NM to visit a historic hacienda dating back before the US became the US. We got to camp around 3:30 and setup before heading to …
Today is our last full day in NM. Had the opportunity to visit a few of the local museums before meeting up with my second cousin at Sena Plaza where we had a good visit catching up on the latest familial info. Tomorrow we head to the our first National Park on our list, the …
After a night in Roswell, we headed North yesterday to Santa Fe, NM where we are staying at Sante Fe Skies RV Park. This is the same park we stopped at in 2016 on our way to Colorado. The price has gone up nearly 75%!!! I don’t think it worth the new price so if …
Well we’re finally off on leg 1 of our Heartland Trip Part 1 with a quick one nighter in Roswell, NM. We navigated our freshly washed and waxed land ship through first a thunderstorm then a dust storm in the plains and arrived in Roswell like we had been to an RV mud spa. Topping …
