Colorado~Part 2, Little Extra's, Big Joy

I'm so far behind in getting this post up but here goes!

We always find great joy in many of the little things while we're in Colorado.  Although there are many, I wanted to share a just a few. 

Mountain Spring Water ~ Not far from the RV park is a PVC pipe that releases clean spring water. 

How do I know it's clean? 

We were told it's tested regularly by "those" in the know but I felt a hankerin' to check for myself so my fingers walked on over to Google and found some city testing info that confirmed it.  YAY!

We've been carrying a six gallon jug for a few years now and we fill it with this fresh water every time we're here.  I mostly use it for coffee, cooking, hummingbird feeders during our time here.

Vallecito Church's Tent Church ~ A few miles from the RV park is a quaint, little, country church that sets up a tent for outside services during the summer months.  When Vallecito Lake is up far enough (some years more so than others), it's another pretty feature that's viewed from the tent and adds to the beautiful  landscape.  Quite a few folks from the RV park attend church here as well.

Community ~  The small, tree-dotted RV park where we anchor is full of friendly folks from many states, especially, our home state of Texas.  They return year after year and some have been coming for decades.  The same goes for the work campers.  

Over time, everyone gets to know each other and the list of folks we know and look forward to seeing grows every year. This year, we've even met nice folks who live down the street from the RV park. Pretty cool!

We also met some nice folks from New Mexico this year.  They aren't regulars but the day they left, we walked outside and found these flowers in a cup of water with a sweet note.  

Flowers left by very kind fellow RVers.

Last but certainly not least.

Hummingbird Feeders ~ The hummers hang around the park and enjoy the camper's feeders well to the end of summer although it varies.  This year, they were still there the beginning of September.

A hummer aboard!

Sorry about the quality of these photos.

I'll work on improving them in the future.  

That's it for Colorado!

Merry Christmas y'all!

Smiles,

Donna
