Our Colorado Trek
Sept 24-Oct 1...We started our week out attending the Colorado Rockies baseball game. It was their last home game of the season, playing the San Francisco Giants. The game was good but it didn't turn out so well for the Rockies. On Monday we made our way to Breckenridge, where we are staying at a beautiful RV park called Tiger Run. It's located just 3 miles north of Breckenridge and we would highly recommend the park. There are several sites with Chalets (park model homes) that people own as well as RV sites that you can buy or rent. The park has 2 small rivers running throught it and is a top of the line park. We have spent our week hiking, biking, walking, and touring. We have visited the towns of Breckenridge, Frisco, Silverthorne, Dillon and Vail - all very unique. It is a beautiful time of the year here as the Aspen tree leaves are turning. The gold colors mixed in with the green are like nothing we have seen before. It has been in the 60's in the day and low 30's at night. It rained on Tuesday night and on Wednesday morning we woke up to snow capped mountains right outside our door. We will be leaving for Gunnison on Monday for a week and then head south...We don't want to push our luck - we want out of this area before the snow flies and lands on our steps! It suppose to be 28 degrees for the next 2 nights - anything below freezing is too cold for us!
