Arrived Del Norte, CO: 10/8/2026

We left Colorado City about 9:45 and had a nice drive … short stop at a park (??? didn’t record name) about 35 miles down the road because a lot of unusual noises of things… all well, one cupboard decided to have a bit of an issue but resolved, Emmett and I walked and on we went.

Stopped next at Walgreen Drug in Alamosa. I got my COVID and Flu vaccine. Got gas and propane. Arrived Del Norte at the nursing home where my mother and her husband are. Had a nice visit and I took Emmett in as they love animals … their dog is living with a former neighbor who brings Buddy regularly.

My Mama and Emmett. Mama is 91 and she looked great!

As she explained, it was her shower day and she was “not dry” … referring to her hair :)

We visited a bit and I explained where I would be and dependent on bike/walk so we would all see how it worked.

On to first the grocery which is right next to the nursing home – YEA! And I was semi-familiar with it from last December visit. Mostly stocked up .. I was tired so missed a few things, but still … Wild Thing II could deal either a mini apocalypse food wise!

RV Park is beautiful!

Not the prettiest site, but I have no entry door neighbor which makes the early morning out easy.

Lovely grounds!

A paved walk around the park … next to the river…

The money shot!!

Lovely setting and so nice that there is a walkway that allows all to enjoy.

The color is spectacular … maybe peak.

So happy to have arrived safely, to see my mom looking well, to see Emmett meeting my mom … stellar arrival day.

***edited to add … it is SO quiet… rural RV park far from a highway and just quiet. So happy!
