Casper, WY to Longmont, CO

The weather man was correct, the wind calmed down about 50 miles down the road, we drove in and out of areas where we could see the remainder of the snow. Every time we drove out of a snow covered area we thought, good there should be no snow in Longmont, but as we came towards Cheyenne, WY we could see the snow covered mountains and when we arrived at Longmont, there was snow along the sides of the roads. We stayed at St. Vrains State Park, same as last year, easy to find, with many walking trails, fishing ponds and many birds. The last mile or so into the park is not paved and this trip due to snow, the gravel road was a huge mess of mud, as well as the walking trails and roads within the park were muddy! Yikes, the rig, the dogs and our shoes were a muddy mess when we left the next day, although the dogs loved the snow, they romped, rolled, ate the snow and tried to chase the geese which were everywhere! This park has very nice level sites with little shelters over the picnic tables, is a very popular fishing spot, even this time of year we saw many fishermen trying their luck. The road into the park is supposed to upgraded next year according the park attendant but with all the budget cuts who knows if that will happen, if not we may have to make a different choice on the trip home, sure hope not though, this is a great place to stop!
I didn’t take any pictures this year, but you can see what a nice park it is here:
