Alamosa, CO-Day 5

We had a very relaxing and fun day yesterday when we decided to drive up to the mountains and check out the campgrounds we will be in charge of this summer. For those who haven't heard Jim and I are going to be area managers for seven campgrounds in the Rio Grand National Forest-Del Norte area. All of these campgrounds are outside South Fork, Colorado.

We were able to look at five of the seven campgrounds. The entrances to Tucker Ponds and Big Meadows were still covered with a foot or so of snow so we couldn't drive in. All the campgrounds look to be in good shape without any fallen trees and not too soggy from melted snow. That is different from previous years where we had trees down in several campgrounds. But there wasn't as much snow this year. Last year the area got 40 feet of snow!!!

We will be staying at Big Meadows Campground which is along side a reservoir. It is a beautiful place.

We still have a couple of jobs available at our campgrounds if any of you boondockers are interested. No hookups.

After our trip we met with our local friends, Rich and Terri also SKPs, who spent the winter at North Ranch while Rich worked at Wickenburg's Safeway grocery store. They had also just returned to the valley. It was so very nice to see them again. We worked with them the last two summers camphosting. It was so good to compare how cold the weather got in Arizona and Florida.

The wind is still windy - really getting tired of this stuff!!! We're hoping to be able to barbeque those T-bone steaks tonight. I told Jim we should eat them for breakfast as that is about the only time the wind is still.

Today I have to devote myself to organizing all the paperwork for the campgrounds.

Remember, you are loved.

  1. Loved seeing the pictures from the Colorado campsites....we sure enjoyed our stay there last summer! And that's a great pic of Terri and Rich. Did they tell you we ran into them in Q in January? Thanks so much for calling us yesterday, Bobbie. It was great hearing your voice. We hope that we'll catch up with you this summer in CO. Big Hugs, J&C
