Thursday June 19,2014 Last night during TV time, Lennie was also doing his research homework! Today we are going to Spinney Mountain Park for our picnic!This is a state park not a problem...we have our Colorado State Park pass! Everyday starts the same, Lennie goes for his walk, me & Otis sack out in the bedroom till Len returns then COFFEE & breakfast!!! Today we pack that picnic lunch & we're ready to go! That includes Otis too!
For as long as we've had Otis(7 yrs now) any time we go anywhere in our car or RV, Otis rides on my lap! Yesterday I told Len, next drive....Otis is going to ride like a dog!!!!
Don't feel too sorry for Otis, he has the whole back end of the car, with a comforter, plus a towel. I even brought a dog toy for him!!! He pouted for awhile, but I think he actually enjoyed that whole back end to himself!?!
It was quite the scenic drive to Spinney Mountain Park!
On the way to Spinney Mountain, we had to go through the town of Lake George. The day we left Santa Fe & drove over to Colorado Springs, was when that terrible wind gust hit our slide topper.That was the same day a tornado hit the Lake George RV Park & did damage.....
a lot of damage. There were cabins at the same RV Park & they were undamaged!!!
At the corner of the road was the Lake George Bible Church. I know a lot of prayers were said that day, & a lot of prayers were answered.....only minor injuries!
Continuing on to the park.....
The scenery is just beautiful, in front of us......
& behind us!
I see the Ranger Station! We're at the park!!!
This might be the #1 scenic picnic spot this year!!!
The drive leaving the park was quite
interesting too!
It's open range out here, so the cattle just wander where ever they want!
that goes for the horses too!
Today was really a scenic drive!!!
Truly America the Beautiful!
Yesterday I kept hearing the Sonic commercial about today celebrating 1/2 price shakes ALL DAY LONG in honor of the start of the summer season! Imagine my surprise when we actually pulled into a Sonic!!!
I had Strawberry banana, Len had coconut cream pie! There was too many flavor choices!
A TRUE sign of summer!!!!
We got back to the RV in time for some good ole loafing before the start of dinner!
Friday June 20,2014 I don't want to think of myself as a lazy person, but the time we're spending at Mountaindale RV Park is so enjoyable especially the days we do NOTHING!!!! That what today is, after our regular morning routine, we did go into "the Springs" for just a dew groceries.
When we first started RVing, our goal was to visit every state you could drive to. We were rushing from RV Park to RV Park from state to state. Now that we've RVed in all 49 (drive able) states, the states we're repeating, we're just taking our time! This has been a much more relaxing road trip! So today my friends....nothing to blog, just a day to relax.....all of us!
Now that's relaxed!
Poor Otis, he has to be a dog again, but notice he is taking comfort in his purple bunny! He's too mad to eat his treat!
Not a bad view!
Otis was not impressed with his lunch today?
I think he did like the view!
Those clouds look like smoke rising above the mountain tops!
We've never gone to this Museum, we just use the pull off to check on our banking, or any other phone issues before we're back at the RV park & NO PHONE RECEPTION! While Lennie is checking our banking status....I climb up the hill to take a picture of the "BUG"!!!
Picture taken, now I Have to go back down to Lennie & Otis, waiting in the car!
Now that's relaxed!
Saturday June 21,2014 Today is the first day of summer!!!! Our day starts out the same, Lennie's out walking, Otis & I are taking it easy back in the bedroom, till Otis hears Lennie come in, the he leaves me for his potty walk with Lennie! Okay time to get up, the coffee must be ready!?!
Today we are going on a long scenic drive that includes a picnic at Five Points State Park(we have the pass!)Actually we're just going to make a big circle of about 150 miles!With breakfast out of the way, Otis walked, picnic packed, camera in hand....it's time to go!!!
Poor Otis, he has to be a dog again, but notice he is taking comfort in his purple bunny! He's too mad to eat his treat!
We've been to the Five Points Park before to watch the rafter enjoying the Arkansas River.Today we are going to watch rafters while we enjoy our lunch! It is perfect weather for the first day of summer!
Not a bad view!Otis was not impressed with his lunch today?
"Same ole turkey lunch meat"
I think he did like the view!Those clouds look like smoke rising above the mountain tops!
We continue our drive& start heading back to the RV park. First we stop at our favorite WiFi spot!
We've never gone to this Museum, we just use the pull off to check on our banking, or any other phone issues before we're back at the RV park & NO PHONE RECEPTION! While Lennie is checking our banking status....I climb up the hill to take a picture of the "BUG"!!!Picture taken, now I Have to go back down to Lennie & Otis, waiting in the car!
We are heading back to the RV park where we have a quick dinner planned because it's Saturday night at the RV Park & Saturday night it ICE CREAM night!!!
Now that's an ICE CREAM BOWL!!!
Several flavors to choose from, & generous scoops!
This morning when Lennie & I were walking Otis, we couldn't help but notice that the RV park is full, including a Rally, so we want to get in line early!!!
Now that's an ICE CREAM BOWL!!!Several flavors to choose from, & generous scoops! |
| Perfect ending to another good day!!! |
