Back on the road at last...

...but first some pictures. The first shot is from the

day I got to Stephen and set up in the campground.

As you can see it was quite beautiful and really

a pretty little spot. The tent was gone by the next

day replaced by a trailer. There were a total of

11 spots in the campground and at the start of the

harvest they were all full. It was neat because there

were big motorhomes, a couple fifth wheels, some trailers

and four truck campers so the entire RV

spectrum was represented. The nice weather was not to last however.

For the first week we had a lot of time off because

it was too warm. Once the cold air rolled in though

it stayed cold the rest of the time. One morning

I woke up to find snow on the ground. It was

amazing to see snow the beginning of October!

The camper did great in the cold even a few

nights where it got down to the low 20's.

I kept the cold water on just a trickle in the

bathroom to keep the hose and lines from freezing,

and the pilot light lit on the water heater and

had no problems at all. The only thing I had to

remember to do is keep shoes on inside

because the floor stayed quite cold. Overall

my little house was quite cozy. Now back to where I am headed. I am in Fargo,

North Dakota right now and heading south to

I90. Then I am going west across South Dakota

and into Wyoming before cutting south again

to Denver. Why Denver? Because I have a flight out

of there on Friday back to Florida. Monday

is my next orthodontist appointment so I will

be in Sarasota for the weekend then fly back out

on Tuesday. Got a great price on United actually,

plus I was going west anyway so Denver here

I come. Still nothing definite for the winter but

I spoke with a lady who owns a lodge in

Winter Park the other day and I think it went well

so perhaps some good news any day now.

If not then when I get back to Colorado next

week I will head up into the mountains

and hit some places in person and see what

I can find. Well that catches everyone up to date I think

and I want to get back on the road. It feels

good to have to camper back on the truck and

to be going down the road again. Have a great

week and can't wait to see my friends

and family this weekend. Take care, Jim
