Colorado state parks that have RV camping could well be our
#1 pick for best RV park experience yet. Colorado has spent quite a bit of cash
on their parks. Emphasis is on a natural experience and space between neighbors
abounds. These folks are good. They are not so good at regulating growth,
however. The beleaguered city of Denver has boomed and continues to do so.
There is far too much high density housing. Local news reports that 10,000
people per month are moving here. City fathers have blessed an overabundance of development and the infrastructure is bending at the seams. Water supply is a big issue looming in the near future and traffic is monumental. A local friend told me he recently
drove back from Ft Collins, 70 miles north of Denver, bumper to bumper all the
way, barely getting to 40mph at the “open” areas. While it is great for us that
money has been spent on the parks and bike paths, (the town is way bike
crazed), not much is going into the condition of the roadways. It is a jarring
experience to drive the streets here. The whole state is hot. Colorado is
certainly one of our country’s most wonderful places to live. It offers so much
in terms of climate, including a very tolerable winter season for Denverites.
Major ski areas are an hour away. You visit when the weather is nice and stay
home for snow times. Storms here are regularly followed by incredibly blue;
clear skies. Summers are filled with perfect temperature low humidity days.
Colorado boasts the lowest rate of obesity in the US. Our friends that remain
here are all in good shape. It is Slim City, and the folks of that mindset
continue to pour into the state. The city's multi cultures are equanimous with
each other much more so than many other places around the US. In the spotlight
now, Colorado is home to the Olympic training camp. Fitness, fitness, fitness.
So back to our RV site, here’s a few pics to give an idea of our surroundings.

OH, btw...Mullein is native to Europe but came with immigrants here because of its ancient medicinal properties. Prepared correctly it is reputedly beneficial in treating cough.
