We drove from Lamar, CO to Woodland Park, CO with intentions of staying in one of the National Forest campgrounds for a couple nights before driving into Denver on Thursday. A few years ago we had seen a campground we liked so we thought we would return to it for our stay. But, apparently we were just a bit early. The developed campgrounds we passed were closed. Just about the time we were going to look for a place to turn around we saw an ‘off road’ camping spot.
A jeep would have been a little better for maneuvering the steep slope up to the top of the knoll but we made it. Here is the view of Pikes Peak from our dining and living room windows. Do you think it was worth it?
Here is Dale getting off the hill and navigating the ‘jeep’ trail pulling our ‘house’. I am in front of him guiding him via walkie-talkie. He says that’s as adventuresome as he wants to get.
On our way out we saw the campground we wanted to stay in was now open!
Stay tuned!
