We arrived at Colorado Springs KOA in Fountain, Colorado on Monday, August 26th for an overnight stay. On Tuesday morning we took our motorhome to nearby TransWest, the Freightliner dealer in Fountain, for its annual servicing (oil change, filters, chassis lube, etc.). We dropped it off and headed into town for breakfast at one of our old favorites, Western Omelette Restaurant.
We picked up our motorhome from TransWest around noon and headed to Cheyenne Mountain State Park where we had a reservation for nine nights. We really enjoy staying at Cheyenne Mountain because all campsites are full hookup and there’s lots of wild life and hiking trails. The views of the city lights at night are pretty.
We met my daughters Kim and Jen and two granddaughters Audrey and Hannah on Wednesday for dinner and had a really nice visit.
On Labor Day weekend, we drove down to Westcliffe, Colorado on Sunday to visit our friends Vince and Lisa. The view of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains from their home is just plain awesome.
Our time in Colorado Springs is always very busy with our various doctor and dental appointments. We also try to meet old friends to catch up. We had dinner with Rick and Diana, whom we hadn’t seen since last February when they visited Florida. We also enjoyed dinner with Wendy whom we hadn’t seen in a year.
We left Colorado Springs today, headed to South Fork for an overnight, then to Cortez, Colorado for a couple of days. My sister Marcia and brother-in-law Mike from northern Virginia and our friends Kris and Jan from Albuquerque are meeting us in Cortez. From Cortez, we all head together to Lake Powell for our annual two-week stay, beginning the weekend after Labor Day. The weather will be great, the water will be warm, and the crowds will be gone!
