I wonder where David went?  He last logged on here Feb 20th.  He was quite active for a while.

Great pictures of one of our favorite places to camp.  Can't wait to see our r-pod in the park.  We camped several times there in our van, and it was the start of our first camping vacation.  We stayed in town at a KOA, and decided we really did not want to camp on blacktop all the time.  Now that we can use hookups it sounds better, but still would rather be in the park and seeing elk outside the camper.

I have a son-in-law in Ft Collins, so we have been in Este Park, etc many times when we were Podless.  We hope to get back there with Nuestro Pod in the future.  We also love the majesty and beauty of the area.

Happy Podding

Oh lucky you. Our daughter and son-in-law were in Ft. Collins for many years , both employed by HP.
Both Grandchildren were born there. really liked the living there, I miss it myself, I know they must. They moved on with the work, now in Austin, Texas. While Austin is weird and the Texans love it so and much to offer, I do miss the Rocky Mountain High. Going up to Red Feather at the Continental Divide was a favorite place for me. My husband took one look at the place and said it was me, flannel shirts and hiking boots, a dog in the back of the pickup truck ( I would NEVER have a dog in the back, would be in the cab of the truck) ,but the picture he drew was that I could LIVE that way and he could not. Dirt street, raised wooden side walk, post office in the general store. As I sit here composing this, I can still see in my mind the storm that was brewing up there, the smell of the drops of water hitting the dirt and the ozone in the air. We left with the storm following us down to Owl Canyon where the kids lived. Do I MISS the place or not? Only other place is here, in my log house, front yard the Park.
Such a long way to pull a Pod and with gas prices it makes it really hard to consider.
Again, lucky you.

Living in Colorado really is a pleasure with close access to many great camping spots. I've camped in Rocky Mountain National Park before I was a Pod owner and it was wonderful. Great pictures in this thread too.
