Colorado - Sep 7 - Sep 23

We left the KOA in Dallas hoping to make Amarillo by the end of the day. Unfortunately we had a wheel bearing failure just a few miles outside of Childress Texas. Luckily we were able to limp into town and find an abandoned lot to survey the damage. With no help available on a Sunday evening we resigned ourselves to wait until morning to find a solution. Note : Good Sam Riadside Assitance is worthless. 

Notice the missing wheel

Miraculously with the help of an auto repair shop across the street and a tiny tire shop across town we were able to get back on the road by noon the following day. 

We decided to stop at Capulin RV park in New Mexico (found using our Passport America app - $14.50/night full hookups).  We had a camping neighbor with a quirky sense of humor. 


Last Supermoon

We visited the Capulin Volcano National Monument which we had driven by many times before. What a beautiful vista from above. 

 
Next we arrive at the Edrington Ranch in Bonanza and spend the next two weeks enjoying friends, family, riding, Aspens, Joyful Journeys spa and good food and drink. 


Fishing at Mosquito Lake

Relaxing in a mineral pool

The Arkansas River in Salida





It's no wonder this is one of our favorite places. Can't wait to return again next year, but there are more adventures to come between now and then!
