Small towns
Love the story about the "pet" coyote eating the dog. As you say...only in Creed. I sure like the looks of the Lodgepole campground. Happy travels.

Taos
I'm sure Taos has changed a great deal from when you went there. There may have been some hippies there 40 years ago but there are sure none now. All very upscale.

Best time of year
Thanks. I have found that the fall is definitely the best time of year to enjoy New Mexico and Colorado.

Hi William Good to see you back in Colorado - and hopefully recovered from all the hospital trauma I read about, Sounds like you are in good cheer. I am hoping to get back to the US for more travels next year. Best wishes for your travels Lynne

trauma
I had more trauma from the bill rather than the surgery. However that is all under control again and the follow up test done. So I am back at my usual brisk pace walking about as much as I can.

at the Springs
I left Harmony and after getting through west Texas took the scenic route through portions of New Mexico and Colorado and finally to stay a bit in Colorado Springs. I turned a 900 mile trip into an 1800 mile one but only traveled scenic roads. Now that I am at the Springs and enjoying the beautiful weather here I will catch up on blogging on the 1800 mile trip here. Thanks for the well wishes on my surgery. I feel great now and am stepping out again at my usual rapid pace,

Hospital bills
The cost is daunting. I've email you a few articles to read. Do some research and renegotiate. You may want to pick up a small secondary insurance plan for the future.

dealing with the bubble
I have dealt with the financial "bubble" now and am moving on. Since this is my first personal experience with a hospital it was quite a singular experience. The care I received was very polite, professional and excellent. Those people literally saved my life and I am grateful for that. I really never expected anything like this to happen to me....but......oh well....I guess it did. : )

When I post a blog I try and provide some practical and useful information on the location I visit in the blog for the frugal/budget traveler. I am a sojourner, that is my occupation, that is what I do. I took Early Retirement in December 2010 and never looked back. I have taken several trips while on vacations around the US and to Europe while I was working but now can travel full time if I wish. Since I retired I have been visiting or revisiting many of my favorite locations in the US and then revisiting many of my favorite locations in Europe at a more leisurely pace, blogging all the ... full info
