RV travels around the USA
The Fall Season is almost upon us. The nights are getting cooler while we are in Wyoming and now South Dakota. The RV parks are much quieter and not very busy as the family vacations are over and the kids are back in school. Both a good thing in my full-time RVer opinion. Today’s blog is a travel update and some other thoughts…
This will be my last post from Colorado as we are now well into Wyoming. Just getting caught up on some items. After leaving Littleton, Colorado (suburb of Denver), we traveled due north up I-25 for a couple of nights at Fort Collins. The drive was 151 miles and through the middle of two good sized cities, so not my favorite kind of drive. Although, on a Saturday morning it turned out to be no big issue.
Pat’s brother Robert has a summer home in the mountains near Durango, Colorado (6,500 feet and 18,000 pop) and has been asking for us to come visit. It has always been high on our agenda, but we never had good timing until this summer while RVing through Colorado. So, we decided to leave the 5th wheel coach in Colorado Springs and drive the 303 miles in our new little Honda CRV instead of crossing the mountains with the rig. We had a wonderful week full of family time, activities and mountain vistas!
Planning for RVer’s is a debatable topic. There are certainly two camps of full-time RVers. Those who plan and those who wing it. The planning that I’m writing about is a pre-plan of the RV route to all destinations and RV parks for the year or at least a few months in advance. It is a huge amount of work and can take several weeks to complete working a few hours a day.
