"The Villa"

      You may have seen a post or two of our camping trailer "The Villa". But you have only seen the outside. Here is a glimpse of the inside. The previous owners had done a major remodel, taking the dark, brown interior and making it light and bright. We repainted the entire interior in the same colors they used. We also added a few trim accents, quarter round floor molding, new tile in the bathroom and an upgraded porcelain commode. A few other small touches, including a wine glass rack, spice rack and a couple accent light fixtures topped off the interior to our liking. "The Villa" is a 2014 Jayco 20MRB. It's main features are a murphy bed and a dinette slide out.

Birthday/North Loop

Image
Rick created a 4-day/3-night loop trip: 566 miles  We started out early Monday July 8th, on Rick's birthday. We make every effort to support local restaurants (vs. franchises) however, we tried a new place called "Starvin Arvin's" - JETHRO SIZED PORTIONS!!! Rick's breakfast ham rested on the rim of his plate! Noreen chose a cinnamon roll as her side-option.  We stopped at Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park outside Montrose for a few hours before we headed up north on a scenic drive to McClure pass. Night-One: McClure Pass, dispersed camping. Dispersed camping is free camping with no facilities of any kind on BLM or Forest service land. Day-2, Noreen's birthday (July 9th)  Marble, CO: breakfast @ "The Inn at Raspberry Ridge". The Inn had such a cool vibe, just a handful of folks around. These lil po-dunk places and towns are so cool. We then drove the 4x4, high-clearance only  road to The Crystal Mill. Yes, you read correctly, but trucks can...

🍁 To Canada & Beyond......Part 1

Image
      Long time no post! Thanks for checking out the blog.       We ended our summer position at Priest Gulch Campground on Sunday September 29th at about 3 pm and hit the road by 4 pm. First stop:  Durango, Colorado. Next morning, onto Canton New York (2,159 miles). Why Canton NY you say? Because our longtime dear SOWER friends (Joe & Kim) reside there and invited us and, now that we're retired we can do that!                                                                    Joe & Kim     Diving a 38'  motorhome and pulling a car takes just a wee bit more endurance than just a passenger car so, we broke our driving down into two segments per day. We drove approximately three hours in the morning (175-200 miles) then, stopped for a break where we had lunch ...

29 Mile Hike!! San Juan Hut Systems

Image
                      What this heck is this out here in the middle of nowhere on a mountaintop!? We came across this hut on a previous trip over Bolam Pass. It seemed out of place in the middle of the forest where there aren't any cabins for miles.    This is how we learned about the "San Juan Hut Systems"...   Game on!    We called and booked our 5-day/4-night, 29 mile trek across the Sneffels Wilderness - so named for the 14,158' signature peak Mt. Sneffels (which Rick wants to climb).  Below is a map of the traverse. The starting point and where the outfitters dropped us off is on the left, Alder Creek trailhead. We left our vehicle at trail's end.  Taken from a book: A picture of the traverse from nearby Ridgway, Colorado. We began on the far right and ended on the far left. Unlike this picture, there was very little snow left on the peaks. As soon as our outfitter dropped us off things ...
