It's been a wet spring here and accordingly the canyon looks green and wonderful. It makes the trip into Fort Collins very pleasant. The river is still in spate and races down past our park. The freezing cold waters make a nice foot refresher on the hot days - of which we've had a few.
It flows that fast by us at our park, but we have a few spots with tiny beaches where we have water access. This is on Hwy 14 taken on a trip to town.
We also pass by some agricultural land, sweet corn mostly, on the way and it's sure pretty as well.
We generally have a pickup order from Walmart (dry goods/household), a stop at our mailbox svc., and finally a fruit & veg stop at King Soopers (Kroger). Afterwards, we pick-up a sub from Firehouse Subs to share and stop on the way back up the canyon for a picnic. Here's our spot from the other day, very pretty, and peaceful.
So nice to stop along the way. There are quite a few picnic areas and campgrounds in the canyon. Speaking of campgrounds, Glen Echo has a new owner who has been making some changes and additions. Several dead trees were felled during the off season, a cool-looking, covered wagon w/bath was added and a glamping yurt was added as well. These are in addition to some needed renovations on some of the cabins.
We've had a chance to get our yard in order, and get all the flowers we need in pots or in the ground. This year we added a second sun shade sail to help with afternoon sun on the rear of the RV. we'll see how it does, but already there are more shady spots in which to park a chair.
Well, that's it for now. I'll have another post soon, I've got photos burning a hole in my pocket. 😄
Love the header picture. The poppies are gorgeous as are the irises.
ReplyDeleteYour spot looks quite comfy, offering shade when you need it.
We like being tucked away on the far side by the fence line, out of the fray. The sun shades really help. It was hot the other day but in the shade with the breeze it was very pleasant. The size of those poppies!
DeleteI'm confused. In your previous post you said you were on the last leg turning right at Glen Echo on the dirt road heading to Red Feather Lakes. I thought Rocky was at the Glen Echo Resort. Where did I go wrong?
ReplyDeleteHey FnEJ! There is a north/south road from Glen Echo (on Hwy 14) to Red Feather Lakes called N. Co. Rd 69. When we come out here(on I-80) we head southwest from Cheyenne and in the back way. Hope y'all are doing OK. Where'd your blog go?
