Hillman Ferry Campground with My Sista’s

-

I can’t believe how beautiful it is here!  From our campsite I can see and smell water. I love playing in the water as you know by now!!! The campsites are spaced well apart with lots of trees surrounding us, but it is still so HOT!  🔥

M & D complimented me on my patience because it took them longer than normal to get setup. It was a horrible site to back a 30’ travel trailer into. Ugh! Once in place, the campsite was wonderful! 

Bek and Milena arrived shortly thereafter. I got to run up and see their campsite on the small hill above us. Mom was working with me off leash; until someone around us, reported us. Ugh. There were no other dogs out or mom wouldn’t have done it. So, back on the leash I go. It’s so insulting, if they only knew how well behaved I am?!

We had a great time talking and playing with my sisters. I’m sad that their dog 🐕 Houdini wasn’t with them, but they are tent camping and it’s hard with a dog. They were excellent playmates! They took me hiking through the woods and playing in the water. They even took me to see some bison; but I was pretty tuckered out by then and needed a car nap!!!

While we were away, mom and dad got to visit outside with Libby & Ron, a looper couple they met on Bashi Creek off the Tombigbee River when they were all on the Loop. A fun day for all!

As always, I got to sample some fabulous food that we cooked and ate outside. Everyone is being so conscientious about social distancing, it’s painful to me. However one night, Dad and Milena celebrated belated birthdays with yummy cupcakes, candles and awful singing.

One day M & D drove us around to see Grand Rivers, KY and “Patti’s 1880 Settlement.” It had to be rebuilt after a fire. A really, cute tourist trap; it seemed to me, but very busy this day. We didn’t get out of the truck! 

They also showed me Green Turtle Bay Marina, where they spent a week resting and repairing Moondance after traveling the Mississippi. It had very lush grass for doing my business,...such simple pleasures!!!

Staying outside all day and into the night was very tiring... I did enjoy listening to everyone’s stories and opinions, but I’m still a puppy, so I was ready for bed by nine; even though they kept going awhile longer...

All too soon we were packing up to leave. Despite, it being a technology blackhole; I’m personally praying we return here! It’s just too lovely not too!

Pueblo’s on My Mind...

Ancient Cedars RV Park, Mancos, CO Today’s drive was simple. We traveled through the lush, vast San Luis Valley on Route 160.  It’s obvious the main income for this region comes from farming and ranching.  Monte Vista  with its old train station and  Del Norte  with its crane artwork were two smaller, charming towns.   When we arrived in  South Fork , we started   climbing into the mountains. This area is an outdoors person’s idea of paradise. The   Rio Grande River   and   Forest   provides loads of activities...Fly fishing, kayaking, hiking in the warmer months while skiing dominates in winter. Dad had to really concentrate with all the winding roads. When we were going slower mom put the window down. It’s really beautiful and smells fabulous with all the evergreens. Judging by the road signs, it’s not uncommon for this two lane road to be closed down with heavy winter snows.  As we climbed up to  Wolf Creek Pa...

Onto The Great Sand Dunes National Park

As it turns out some of the route to get there were on small two lane roads like CO-24. It provided us with the opportunity of passing through more tiny towns. In between were scattered ranches and windmill farms.  At times the distance between each seemed endless...it’s amazing how many of the homes are trailers or manufactured ones. Obviously, You have to love wide open spaces to live out here. Not to mention enjoy driving miles to get anything...WOW! We saw signs for this attraction   https://royalgorgebridge.com/ . With mom’s fear of heights we passed on it. We did cross over the  Arkansas River  in Pueblo, CO though… Dad decided to pass up on  Fort Garland Museum and Cultural Center  ,  this historical fort built in southern Colorado in the 1850’s. O ne of the forts that housed the  Buffalo Soldiers  in the late 1870’s.   Gradually, the plains give way to undulating rounded rises, then larger hills and before you know it, you’re loo...

Scintillating St Augustine, FL

June 13-16 Mom called this bridge, a bowtie bridge; just for fun Mom and dad promised me a quick drive from our last camp. They didn’t disappoint! They had us in our campsite and eating lunch by 2:00 PM. Hope they can find more pull through sites!  We walked around and found a dog park with some fun "doodles" playing. I had so much fun, that I crashed afterwards!  Next morning after a long walk with mom, we eventually meandered into St Augustine Historic District.   Mom and dad wanted to eat again at the Maple Street Biscuit Company . They loved this cafe when they came on the Loop.  It’s still incredibly popular! The good smells alone made me crazy! While we waited, the storm clouds were chased away by the sun. Yeah!  While they ate, thanks to Facetime ;  they ate brunch with our son & granddaughters in San Diego. Here's Elise having her cinnamon toast. We love Facetime and Zoom!!!
