Colorado

Going to Colorado with Grandma and Stacy

On July 2nd we left for Colorado to cool off a little from the hot summer heat in Texas. The motor home was packed and ready to go. First stop was Amarillo Texas at the Overnight RV Park. Good place to stay with  full hook ups and free internet. If you don't want to unhook your car they even have a limousine that will take you to the Big Texan. So we did where we had a good steak that for dinner. If you can eat a 72 ounce steak at the Big Texan , the dinner is free. We were lucky enough to see a young man eat a whole steak in less then 40 minutes. Wow I don't think that happens very often . Now it is time to go back to camp in the Limo with long horns in front and then off to Colorado in the morning!


It is 450 miles to Fun Valley Colorado from Amarillo. Amarillo's elevation  is 3605 ft.   Fun Valley Colorado is 8100ft. 450 miles up hill. No problem so far for our Winnebago pulling the Jeep. We slowed down a bit as we going over Raton Pass. We were singing "yes I can, yes I can".Topping the last hill before we arrived at Fun Valley, I saw the camp ground from above (never being there before) I thought to my self  "oh no, 100s of campers like the Winnebago rally". Camper after camper just crammed. Arriving at the front desk we founf very friendly staff. No reservations taken at this camp and this was the July 4th holiday weekend. Glad we had a friend that has been going to Fun Vally for many years and he reserved a spot for us. It was a great spot in front of the river.

Time to park and hook everything up; we made it! Oh no only 20 amps; that cant be. Living in Texas we must have air conditioner and 20 amp will not work for me! So after a small fit I realized it is not hot here, I do not need the ac, so, I can handle 20 amp. Let the fun begin.


Time for dinner!!   ( New camera did not set the date correctly)
