Colorado, Part 3~Jeeping & Pagosa Springs

Joe pulled his jeep up to Colorado behind his fifth wheel so that so he, Geo and others could pursue some jeeping adventures while there. 

I'll bet that looked like one long choo-choo train traveling the highways and country roads to get there! It makes me think of the 1954 movie, The Long, Long Trailer with Lucille Ball & Desi Arnaz. 

Do you remember that movie?

Joe & George enjoyed jeeping three or four times during the two weeks that we were there. One of those times, Dave (from my 1st Colorado post) went with them.

Nice view under those dark clouds!

Dave, George and one outstanding view beside them.

Meanwhile back at the RV park, 
Linda and I painted rocks.
I wrote about it on my other blog, 

You can read that specific post 
here 
(if you want to go directly to it 
and not sift through other posts.)

The pretty town of Pagosa Springs is about an hour from the RV park so it called for a visit. 

Yes, it called.
I heard it.
All four of us heard it!
And what do you do 
when Pagosa Springs calls?

You go!

Pagosa Springs' name was inspired by the sulphur springs which includes the world's deepest geothermal spring.


We ate lunch at
where their balcony overlooks the springs. 
 Note~~I've seen negative reviews online about Tequila's but our experience was quite positive. Everyone enjoyed their food. I can say that my shrimp enchiladas were awesome!

The Springs Resort & Spa.

It looks like a super nice place!

I'll end this post with a photo taken in the 
opposite direction showing the mountains 
in the distance under a perfect blue sky.

That's it for now.
More of Colorado very soon!

Jeeping & More~Colorado Part 4

While in Ouray, the guys went jeeping twice. Our friend, Sal and his wife Phyllis, were camping at a nearby RV park. They spend summers here every year and do a lot of jeeping so Sal knows the ins and outs of jeeping in the area. Phyllis's niece joined them once and a friend of Sal's another time. 

Apparently, there were lots of folks 
 jeeping up in them thar' hills 
-- a.k.a. the San Juan Mountains!

Sal, Geo, Joe

Pretty stuff!

 Rick was the official sign holder upper!

Is Rick really trying to push Geo off a
cliff or is he casting a jeep spell on him?

Jeepers!

Rain!

 Dick, Sal, Geo

Geo took this photo a hop, skip & jump 
away from the summit. He was the 
only one that went that far up. 

A mountain of earthy colors!

Dick, Joe, Rick, Sal


The pic below reminds me of something
we might see in a commercial!
Can you hear a super-deep man voice saying, 
"Manly!"
"Rugged!"
"Jeep!"

You know who they are.

Joe was the official tree holder upper!

Beware! 
Snow pile on the left!

They are truly a bunch of very happy campers!

Another day, Rick, Joe, Sal & Geo went to a 
shooting range but the only pics Geo came 
back with were the three below.

Maybe they were really 
out playing Bonanza all day!

Can't you just hear the 
Click here or the link above to hear the song.

If you're too young to remember Bonanza
it was a western TV show that 
aired from 1959 to 1973.

Stay tuned for more Colorado posts.

Smiles,
