Four Days to Rocky Mountain NP

---

Wed, 8 July 2020



So Saturday, while we were staying in from the beach, I managed to reserve us a campsite for 3 nights at a national forest campground just outside of Rocky Mountain National Park. The only problem was we would have to leave on Sunday, the 5^th.



Sunday morning Kerry’s foot was really hurting, so David took him to an urgent care clinic where he was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. So we finally got on the road around 2. Once we got out of Florida, we were delayed an hour by an accident on I-10 in Alabama. We did manage to get as far as Hattiesburg, Mississippi before stopping for the night.



Monday, being out of the habit of camping, we didn’t get on the road until 9:30. We again were delayed by an accident, this time in Louisiana, between Monroe and Shreveport, and for at least 2 hours we were at a standstill. Finally made it to a campground in Canton, TX.



Tuesday was a really long day, around 550 miles, from Canton, TX, to Clayton, NM, way up in the northeast corner of New Mexico. No major traffic problems.



So today we made it to our campsite at Stillwater Campground. It’s a beautiful site near a lake just outside the south entrance to Rocky Mountain NP. Timmy has enjoyed riding his bike around the campground. Tomorrow we go into the park. Tonight the temperature has dropped into the low 60’s.



Not many pictures to post, but I promise to do better.



More later...
