We have arrived!

We left Cortez CO the morning of June 1 on our way to Monte Vista and Alamosa, intending to stock up at WalMart and do some genealogy research.  Our plan was to arrive in Creede CO on June 3 or 4.  We passed the road heading to Creede just before stopping in South Fork for lunch.  While eating, we decided to take that road to Creede today and arrive early.  We will drive to Alamosa for stocking up next week.

Our drive today was very scenic - Colorado at its best.  As my sister, Dorothy, describes herself and me - "I am a green girl, not a brown girl."  Driving along today Alan asked if the green girl was happy, and my answer was definitely yes.

These pictures were taken from the truck as we drove - not the best but it will give you the idea of the scenery.

When we arrived at Mountain Views RV Resort (are we resort people?) our site needed some fill dirt and gravel.  Within minutes, a crew of workers were here and spent a couple of hours filling and leveling our site.  Very nice to have that kind of response.

These are views from the park - oops, the resort.

You'll notice there is a "park" side and a "resort" side.

A fountain and elk statue just inside the entrance.

Dorothy and Jerry, this is the view of the site you reserved.

All fishing in the river here is catch and release.  We laughed at this sign.

The Rio Grande river.

A stone statue of a bear and cub at the end of our street.

A creek feeding the river.

In the far left is the nose of our truck.  This is the view down our street.

The park is very pretty and the neighbors that are here seem very friendly.  We even have a cocker spaniel next door named Doc.  As we drove in, Alan could see the roofs of the cabins where he spent so much time as a youngster.  In 60 years or so, I am sure much has changed.  It is really pretty amazing that he can recognize anything.
