Thursday 8-24 We are in Colorado

Colorado

We spent the night in Dumas, Texas. We woke up early, around 6:30. We slept very well and didn't hear any trains all night. After breakfast we put things away, unplugged from the power and started down the road.

We left Texas and drove through New Mexico. As we were driving through New Mexico we saw pronghorns, cows and horses. We drove by a lot of ranches and farm fields and saw a lot of sunflowers along the highway. We stopped once in New Mexico to get fuel.

We continued on to Colorado. The scenery is gorgeous. We drove through a few mountain ranges to get to the town of Del Norte. On the way we stopped in Trinidad for lunch at Wendy's, it was right off the highway. Next to the Wendy's there was a Tesla recharging station, we had heard about them but this was actually the first one we had seen. There was a car being charged but by the time we finished eating she was leaving. Larry was hoping to ask her a few questions about her Tesla..

By the time we stopped at Del Norte City Park for the evening we had driven about 350 miles. It doesn't cost anything to camp for the night. It's a cute little city park with a playground, restrooms and a short river trail. The city hall is an old railroad depot, we stopped in to see how the camping worked. The river trail goes along the Rio Grande River. While there we walked the trail and walked around the park. Larry barbecued hamburgers for dinner. We weren't alone, there were a couple more RVs.

We had a super travel day and are looking forward to tomorrow's adventure.
