Thirty Mile Campground Creede, Colorado

My grand ambition to post here regularly failed to take into account that we would be off the grid for the first three weeks of our trip!
Now we are in Durango, planning to visit Mesa Verde and maybe even go glider flying (don't worry Mom - They are safer than planes - after all, there is no motor to worry about!!!!)
We have decided that Thirty Mile Camp, 30 miles from Creede, Colorado is THE place to go in August to escape Texas heat. The campground has no electricity or sewer hookup and you have to load water from a faucet. Every morning we awoke to a temperature in the thirties which WOULD have been even better had we had propane working. But we developed a leak and so had to do most of our cooking on a fire and wait for the sun to warm the RV. Don't feel sorry for us though! The hiking was spectacular, fishing on the Rio Grande Reservoir was productive (Mike beat me!) and the stars were brilliant.
Georgia spent her time hiking with us and keeping the raging chipmunks out of our camp. I think her paws may be as sore as our muscles, but we are all enjoying ourselves!When we arrived in Durango yesterday, we did stop at an RV repair facility and got the propane leak repaired.
