Durango!

We had a wonderful drive up to Durango.  An absolutely beautiful day.  As we were getting ready to leave Santa Fe, we had a nice conversation with our neighbors that moved off a boat they had lived on for 5 years and are now full-timing in a motorhome.  We exchanged websites and campground suggestions and hopefully we'll meet up again in October when we all return to the Albuquerque area, us to visit family and Howard and Diana to attend the balloon festival.
Jan remarked on the way up here that it almost feels like coming home.  We love southern Colorado, and as nice as Albuquerque and Santa Fe are, we like CO even more.  We had a little bit of trepidation coming into Alpen Rose, the campground we are in.  Seems they are getting more and more unpleasant reviews on rvparkreviews.com, one of the websites we use a lot for campgrounds.  It seems as they have become "THE" campground in Durango, they are starting to take it for granted and beginning to treat their customers with disdain.  Thankfully, we had a pleasant experience, we were met politely as we pulled in and they directed us to our site which was what we had reserved, so all is well except for the horribly slow wifi.  I think if a campground offers wifi, it should be acceptable at the very least, this one is terrible!  And it's not cheap to stay here.  Enough of the rant, it just indicates once more we have to come up with a better solution to the internet issue.  I know I mentioned I was tethering my phone, well the cell service here is iffy.  So I will be looking into an amp and antenna for the cellular service.
Anyway, the weather is fantastic, it was warm when we got here about 88, and we woke this morning to 50!  Awesome, and quiet and dark, except for our neighbor's porch light, but that's another story.  Off to enjoy!

Ahhh....but the winters! Ours are much, much better unless you really love snow and ice starting in October through April ! But that is a personal thing. I like southern Colorado too, in the summer.

No, you are more likely to see us in Florida! I don't like the cold weather at all! Now, to prove I am not a robot!
