Wednesday 8-23 Starting Fall Trip

Let's go on a camping vacation

Where are we going for our Fall Trip? I've been talking about getting the Minnie ready for a Fall Trip but I never said where we were going. Well, first of all were going to square dance for a week at Fun Valley Family Resort in Colorado. We went there a couple of years ago for two weeks and had a great time, we danced to Brad Caldwell and Bear Miller the first week and Brad Caldwell and Wade Driver the second week. This year we will being dancing to Brad and Bear. Afterwards we're heading on up to Canada to do a little exploring.

Today we started our camping adventure. We drove 530 miles, it took almost 11 hours before we called it a day. Larry usually does not drive this far but we wanted to go as far as we could before the rain came. We drove mostly two lane highways that took us through a lot of small towns but the traffic was light. We saw a lot of farmland and ranches. I took a few little naps considering I woke up earlier than I usually do. 

When we we got to Comanche we caught some rain so we sat and waited about 15 minutes for the rain to slow down. While we were waiting Larry looked at the weather and saw that if we drove through Comanche we would be rain free. Once the rain slowed down we continued on. We stopped in Abilene, filled the Minnie with gas and had a sandwich for lunch.

We arrived in Dumas, Texas at 6:00 and decided to call it a day. Dumas has a city park with free RV parking for a night. It's a very nice park with a playground, picnic area and RV campsites. The RV sites have electric and there is a dump station. We have been here a few times and this was the first time we saw it this busy. It was a nice place for an over night stay. I walked around the a park a few times. We had a long day but it was all good.
