After Chama and the Cumbres & Toltec train, we’ve returned to Cheyenne Mountain State Park enroute to Golden Gate State Park just west of Golden, CO. Another favorite spot, this campground offers beautiful pine treed sites and miles of hiking trails all very convenient to the Denver metro area.
Following this outing, we’ve taken a break in the camping and jetted off to the UK to sail onboard the brand new Explora I luxury ship from Explora Journeys. Our impressions of the ship are posted here: First Impressions Following 9 nights onboard, we enjoyed 3 nights in London catching up with good friends and seeing two West End shows, Mrs. Doubtfire and Crazy For You!
In late September, we’re back to Lake Pueblo State Park to enjoy the Pueblo Chile and Frijoles Festival in downtown Pueblo. In early October, our last camping trip of the season is at Hecla Junction State Park which has become our traditional end of season trip. As usual, fall colors are beginning to show over the higher mountain elevations and along the canyon walls near the campground. While in the Salida area, we explored Buffalo Pass Campground, a Federal campground just west of Saguache, CO. This small rustic campground offers no services other than beautiful sites and pit toilets. We’d like to return and spend a few days here next summer.

Once again, we’ve winterized the rig and are patiently awaiting our winter/spring trip to Arizona and Texas. More from somewhere in Arizona in mid-January…
