We’ve driven by it several times, but today was the day we decided to see what Dinosaur Ridge was all about. Since it is only a couple of miles from Dakota Ridge RV Park, we decided to bike it. Oh my goodness, you find out quickly just how out of shape you are while pedaling …
National Parks, Frozen Dead Guys, and Alternators
What an eventful day. This is going to be our last weekend in Colorado for quite some time and we wanted to make sure we did some more sightseeing, but where to go? We finally decided on going back to the Rocky Mountain National Park since it was free National Park weekend. The last time we …
Biking Golden
Today we decided to go on a little bike ride that ended up being almost 30 miles from about 9a.m. to 5p.m. We left Dakota Ridge RV Park in Golden toward downtown Golden. It was such a beautiful spring day, so we kept riding. We made a stop at Golden’s Visitor’s Center. What a nice …
Weekend of Hiking
We know that we’ve come to Colorado during the coldest time of the year, but for the last couple of weekends we were itching to go hiking with the dogs. It didn’t work out because it was either too cold or too windy. This weekend was our chance with temps in the 60’s and practically …
Keeping the Water Lines From Freezing

For the past month, we split our time at two different Colorado State Parks. Each one would not allow continuous hook up to the city water. One asked that you simply use …

Elk Taking a Rest
Today we decided to take a drive through Rocky Mountain National Park. Most of the park was closed due to snow, but we were able to have a nice drive anyway. Just as I said, “I wish we would see some wildlife,” we looked off to our left and wouldn’t you know it, a large herd …
Royal Gorge, Colorado
We have been in Colorado for two weeks now and have called St. Vrain State Park our home during that time. It’s been a very busy two weeks as I had to put in very long hours at the office I manage in Louisville. Since CO State Parks only allow 14 consecutive days of camping, …
