Moving on to Monument

We were not the least bit unhappy about leaving Blanco, CO. The park was forgettable and the town even more so.

We knew that we had another tall pass to climb so we got an early start. It was only a 165 mile trip to our next stop but lately we never know what to expect.

All went well over the pass, down the other side and through the Colorado countryside. When we hit I-25 we stopped for diesel, then continued north through Pueblo and Colorado Springs.

Colorado Heights RV Resort in Monument was our destination, being a ROD park where we can stay for free. After all of the unexpected expenses the last couple weeks, that's a relief.

Doug settled us in just before the thunderstorm hit and within a couple of hours the sun came back.


This is a very large park that sells memberships. No thanks, not for us. The section we are in is not scenic. And the rvs are parked one on top of each other in long rows with no trees or anything to break the view. The other parts of the park are better, just barely.

Still, we are staying a week (the price is right) and sightseeing and resting.
