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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Mama and Emmett. Mama is 91 and she looked great!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As she explained, it was her shower day and she was “not dry” … referring to her hair :)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RV Park is beautiful! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Not the prettiest site, but I have no entry door neighbor which makes the early morning out easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Lovely grounds!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A paved walk around the park … next to the river…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The money shot!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lovely setting and so nice that there is a walkway that allows all to enjoy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The color is spectacular … maybe peak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So happy to have arrived safely, to see my mom looking well, to see Emmett meeting my mom … stellar arrival day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

***edited to add … it is SO quiet… rural RV park far from a highway and just quiet. So happy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
