We landed in Dumont Lake Campground just past Rabbit Ears Pass and about 22 miles from Steamboat. Elevation: 9607 ft. The trail that goes to the top of Rabbit Ears is next to our campsite. Saw several other trails go from the campground. It looks like a lot of exploring here. Life continues to be good.
The RV gods were once again kind to us. Found a super cool campsite on a small lake outside Poncha Springs CO. Elevation: 9325 ft. Life is good!
On a short walk, we saw this pond with beaver lodge on Coyote Creek. With today's drive, we're moving along at a snail's pace, but that's okay. Washington seems mighty far away.
We scored with a sweet site in Villanueva State Park, sitting on a bluff, overlooking the Pecos River. Getting our travel trailer into the site was extremely challenging. Perhaps a tad more difficult than the one we got into at Yellowstone last year.
A natural spring once filled this pond, but now because of the increased number of large dairy farms in the area, the pond needs water pumped to keep it filled.
Short drive the first day -- have to slowly get back into the rhythm of the road. Look at that red water in Lake Abilene.
