Albuquerque – Colorado Springs


We enjoyed our two-day visit to Albuquerque, NM on August 22nd and 23rd. We enjoyed dinner with our friends Kris and Jan on Wednesday night. On Thursday we visited a couple of RV dealerships in Albuquerque to look at motorhomes. It was fun to see the different manufacturer floor plans and available options. We then enjoyed dinner at El Pinto, one of our favorite Mexican restaurants.



We drove north up I-25 on Friday, staying overnight for the first time at the Raton Pass RV Park, on top of Raton Pass. It was a small campground, but had nice views of the surrounding mountains.

We headed to Cheyenne Mountain State Park on Saturday and the campground was full. It’s a good thing we made our reservations six-months prior to our arrival for our 9-night stay. There are great views of the city lights from the campground and it’s perfect for our annual visit to Colorado Springs for doctor and dentist appointments and to visit family and friends.


We met old friends Rick and Diana for dinner on Monday night and enjoyed catching up with them.


We enjoyed seeing my daughters Kim and Jenny and granddaughters on Tuesday evening and catching up with them. My oldest granddaughter Audrey is 15 and a high school sophomore. Hannah is 12 and in 8th grade.


Last Saturday we enjoyed dinner at Mike and Candy’s home and also met their parents. It was fun, including backing our F-150 up their steep driveway in the rain.  

We hunkered down in Colorado Springs through Labor Day weekend, but left today, September 4th, on our way to Lake Powell for a couple of weeks.
