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

Another 100 year event?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

A second flooding event forecast and it is forecast to be much worse than the first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I prepped to leave the RV park AND the San Luis River Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nursing home where my mom and her husband live is not at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I chose not to stay there based on the severity of the forecast … not knowing how long I would need to stay this round, i.e. would the RV park be viable in a 4-5 day window?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can dry camp for 4-5 days but then need potable water, ability to dump waste tanks …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, I made the decision to leave the San Luis Valley and base camp at the KOA Campground south of Pueblo,CO … Colorado City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is 120 miles, 3 hours from Del Norte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, tonight …. 11\/1\/2026, I am in Colorado City … high, dry with full hookups, lovely views and all amenties (laundry!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My thoughts and prayers are with so many in Pagosa Springs, Wolf Creek, South Fork, Del Norte, Monte Vista …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a 100 year flood of historic proportions and so many are losing so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am so very fortunate that I can move my house easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope to return to Del Norte in time for my folks’ location celebration of Thanksgiving …. 11\/20\/2026. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
