Heading home

 We left our winter home May 2^nd traveling to Deming, NM where we spent 2 nights due to the fact our running lights on the fifth trailer were not working and needed to be fixed.  After spending several hours checking out what the problem could be with a service repair man the issue was not resolved.  Thankfully the signal and brake lights are working so we decided we could travel without running lights as we do not plan to do any driving after dark on our trip home.

May 4^th  we spent the night at Stagecoach Stop RV Park north of Albuquerque, NM, it is clean, well kept park but too expensive for what you get and the sites and roads are very narrow, very difficult to get into the sites, will not stay there again.  The weather has been awesome, sunny, warm (in the 80,s F) with a little SW breeze.  We booked into the Colorado City, Co KAO campground May 5^th for 2 nights allowing us time to visit our friends Charlie and Dawn whom we missed visiting in the fall on our trip south.
 We decided to take a drive around the country side as we had all day before we met Charlie and Dawn for dinner.  We ended up in the San Isabel National Forest, at a beautiful lake elevation about 9000 ft.,  a beautiful drive but it was raining in the mountains, but just had to take some pictures, the temp dropped over 10 degrees as we climbed came close to freezing, driving hack down we hit sunshine again, the clouds were just hanging over the mountains as you can see in the pictures.

We had a great visit meeting at the restaurant for dinner and continuing our visit in the fifth wheel, it was awesome to see Charlie and Dawn they are great people.

 

We planned to head to Cheyenne, WY today but weather dictates that we stay put, snow over the Monument Pass.  Except for the time factor we don’t mind staying another day in this park; it has a wonderful dog exercise area complete with equipment, jumps, teeter totter to walk over plus other neat equipment.  Cookie loved to jump through the hoops, Muffin not so sure, she just wanted to sniff around.  This area has a covered seating area for the dog owners, very nice! There is a pool in the park but is not covered so I did not try it out a little to cool to use today.  Hope we can get back on the road tomorrow!
