Venturing South, once again, on our way to Arizona, stopping at Black Canyon for a quick night in the mountains near Santa Fe. Traveling with a 19′ travel trailer behind the truck in the bustling city of Santa Fe was a trip. One we probably won’t do again! Getting off I-25 onto busy St. Francis Blvd, … Continue reading Black Canyon, Outside Santa Fe, NM
Turning north again, we wanted to re-visit the Sand Dunes since our stay was so short on our last trip. We wanted to go back in time to re-visit Crestone, CO from 1998 (on the first and original Gypsy trip we took) before we landed in Aguilar, CO. The campground is before entering Crestone: on the … Continue reading Walking Among the Aspens, The Path Less Traveled
We often explore during our extended stays in campgrounds and this day was El Rito day! Patti heard there was a Community College in El Rito, NM. so we set out to find it… El Rito, NM, lies just a few miles down the road, south and a bit east of Abiquiu. Arriving on a … Continue reading El Rito, NM – Just South of Abiquiu
Left San Luis Lake Campground around 9ish, as we were going through Alamosa, we fueled Gypsy up; got a few supplies AND a Starbucks (last one for at least a week, sorry Patti) and headed south on 285 through Antonito, CO, waving to Tres Piedras, NM, sailing by Ojo Caliente and landing at Riana Campground by … Continue reading Abiquiu, NM
The Great Sand Dunes was our next stop-over. We wanted to camp in the Sand Dunes campground, but alas the spots were smaller (much!) than I wanted to back into with Rosalita, so we ventured elsewhere. We had stayed at Crestone Campground when we were tooling around in 1998, but there is not much there … Continue reading Sand Dunes, Alamosa
After Grey Reef, we turned the wheels south again to Lathrop through Labor Day weekend. I think I mentioned earlier how lucky we are at times to get the last spot available….. Yeah! We are taking this opportunity to see friends, chat and catch up (sorry we didn’t see everyone); restock; & revisit. We will … Continue reading Return to Lathrop
Sunday 30th Traveling south we stopped in Sheridan for supplies and breakfast. Fully loaded, we continued east on I-90 till it splits and we traveled south on I-25 to Casper, then south on 287 toward Rawlins. We had picked out a campground (Grey Reef) at the Alcova Reservoir. The campground is not much, reminds us … Continue reading Grey Reef – Alcova, WY
Our time was up and there were no more spaces available at Sibley Lake so we hooked up Rosalita and drove about 10 miles west on hwy 14. We had checked out this campground (Tie Flume) as were wandering around looking for Moose; and made a mental note of it as a definite possibility for … Continue reading Tie Flume 8-27-15
After a brief stay at Grandview RV Park in Hardin, MT (a necessity for showers and laundry), we headed to Billings for tires on Rosalita, since they were starting to dry rot, thank you Tire Rama. The smoke was heavy in the air all the way; our eyes felt like they had sharp objects sticking … Continue reading Sibley, WY
