July 30 Tuesday – Redstone, Penny Hot Springs, Avalanche Ranch - After the flash flood of the night before I woke up to a beautiful day. The road crews had worked all night and I was able to get to my campsite of the previous day and retrieve the few items I had left there to mark the site as “taken”. I then eased into town on the county road side of the river and stopped at the General Stor... Read Full Entry

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

Cool and Beautiful
The more I read and see the photos, I think I will definitely have to explore this area of hot springs. Maybe next year when I am back out in Colo. I have been to Gunnison a couple of times, but never explored the north rim. I am wondering if some of the roads you have been on are suitable for an RV, even a small one. I am familiar with most of the attractions on Hwy 50, a road I have traveled quite a bit and now am staying within a couple of miles of it! Nice photos on this one.

RV's
All the roads I traveled on in this trip had RV's on them. From the picture of your RV in your blogs I am sure you could drive it on the roads I traveled in. It would be a bit stressful though. It was surely a beautiful drive, and Redstone worth stopping in for a few days. If someone had a bicycle they could easily bicycle in from the campground on the County Road next to the campground into the town.

Been there.
Good to see that you got some good weather after the floods... a pity the hot springs were full of kids!! It is just so beautiful down by the Crystal River. And isn't that General Store so quaint. You are making me wish I was back in the US.

Hot Springs
Yes it was too bad the hot springs were full of kids and families. I will probably go back there again in October when there is snow in the surrounding mountains and family vacations are over. I also intend to revisit Strawberry Hot Springs north of Steamboat Springs which to my mind is one of the nicest hot springs in Colorado.

The Redstone General Store is cute. Loved the movie True Grit--now those were movies.

Yes, I am glad I read about Redstone from a fellow travel blogger's blog. It was well worth visiting.
