The Pueblo Post

  On day 3 of our travels, we decided to check out downtown Pueblo since we were camping nearby.  We've passed by this so many times on Interstate 25, never stopping since we were bound for somewhere else.  In the last 10-15 years they have added a canal with water supplied by the Arkansas River, resulting in a wonderful place to stroll and/or eat at one of the restaurants along the way.  I found myself stopping many times to take photos of the numerous sculptures.

It was the perfect time to check this out.  No weekend crowds and the weather was gorgeous.  Later on that afternoon, the clouds rolled in, the temperature dropped and the windy gusts rocked our trailer.

I think the most impressive sculpture is titled "Walks Among the Stars", depicting a 18th Century Lakota woman.  The details and colors were amazing.




To top off our mini-adventure, we went to the popular Bingo Burger nearby.  I had a lamb burger, which was absolutely delicious (if you like lamb).  Don was equally happy with his third pound Angus burger.  I'm thinking this would be a good stopping place on the way back home except for the fact that the parking lot is small, so parking the truck and trailer is NOT an option.  Shucks.

New Adventures: 2016

It hardly seems possible that we are starting our 10th year of RVing!  Not only that, we are still loving it, even though we go from a 2000+ square foot home .......

to about 300 square feet of living space. 

The hardest part for me is having only one bathroom and no dishwasher (besides the two hands that God gave me).  But on the plus side, there is a LOT less to clean.   Weekly cleaning takes about half an hour in our 5th wheel.  For those of you who hate to clean, this would be a definite plus.

The first stop for our travels this year was the KOA in Bernalillo, New Mexico, which is between Albuquerque and Santa Fe.  We were off to a good start....no blowouts on the trailer tires and no flat tires on the truck.  We had one of those "delightful" experiences last fall, and both of us were glad that our drive was uneventful.

Next stop: Lake Pueblo State Park in Colorado, where we had a spectacular view of the sunset our first night there.

Nearby, were a couple of Mexican Swallows that dive bombed us when we got into close proximity of their nest.  After a dozen rounds of flying over our heads, I guess they got tired and decided to rest for a bit.  I can surely relate to these small creatures...Don can attest to the fact that I am a bit flighty at times!
