Durango and Cortez

We finished our travels yesterday from Wolf Creek Pass to Cortez, Colorado.

We passed through Durango and stopped there to pick up a few things.

We pulled into the Sleeping Ute Motel and RV Park.  It's a nice place.

West on Colorado 160 Over Wolf Creek Pass

We completed our commitment to help the Park Ranger get through his full park for the Memorial Day Weekend.  It was a busy time and we are worn out.   We left this morning and headed west on Colorado 160 toward Durango.  We had to get over Wolf Creek Pass which in 10,800 feet with our 34' Motorhome towing a Honda CR-V.  We chugged up a couple of spots, but overall, we were impressed the the gas V10's ability to keep going.  It was a beautiful drive and so hard to really capture it all with a camera. 

I hope this will allow you to experience the Wolf Creek Pass.

Blessings,

Work Camping at San Luis State Park, Mosca, Colorado

It's been an interesting time here at the San Luis State Park.  We have had wind and rain and hail and frost, but it's a beautiful place.  

We signed up to be Campground Hosts over the Memorial Day Weekend.  The park has been pretty empty all week, but we just put out reservation tags for Memorial Weekend and all 51 spots are nearly full.
The San Luis Valley is a high desert.

Park Entrance

We are in the midst of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.  In Spanish that means, "Blood of Christ".  What a wonderful reminder as we have been taking time to pray for our nation.

It even frosted one night, so I'm hopeful my Geranium will hang on.

There are all sorts of nice places along what once was a lakeside view.  The drought has taken away the lake..... but, it does have water now after all the rain.

This is a boat ramp that leads to no where.

Here's Craig doing his Camp Host job.  We just work a few hours each day.

I drive the Gator and help to clean.

We saw this old Ranch home that I thought was so unique.

We headed out to see some of the area sites yesterday.  We drove 20 miles to see Zapata Falls

It was a steep drive up and we were glad we were driving the Honda and not the RV.

We parked the car and then had a LONG 1/4 mile hike up to the falls.

Craig decided to crawl farther up into the canyon to better see the source of the falls.

From the Falls you have a great view of the Great Sand Dunes National Park.  That's where we drove next.

We drove through the Zapata Falls campground.  This family had a full view, but we were hoping they didn't sleep walk.

We are approaching the Great Sand Dunes.  People come from all over the world to see this in Colorado.

This will probably be my last post until we leave the San Luis State Park sometime next week.  It just takes TOO long to upload files.

Blessings,
