Home Again, Home Again- Cottonwood, AZ

Yesterday we traveled from Colorado City, Colorado to Acoma, New Mexico. It was a smooth travel day. We stayed at the Sky City Casino RV Park, which I believe is in Acoma. Although on Mapquest I had better luck plugging in Acomita or Sky City. It is on the Acoma Pueblo Indian Reservation west of Albuquerque and east of Grants. When we settled into the park, there were only 3 other RV's there. One more came in after us and that was it! It is a pretty new park and they allow you to just "pick your spot". That was nice because the pavement they used for the slots was not heavy duty, and some spots were more level than others. So we pulled into one, checked for level, didn't like it and pulled into another. :-) We stayed hooked up to the truck for our last travel day. The scenery from the park is beautiful. In the park they xeriscaped with Russian Sage and some other pretty desert plants. You are able to use the casino hotel's facilities...so Caleb and I cooled off in the pool. We checked the pool's hours so that he and his dad could go back later! We decided we were tired of the food in our trailer and would eat at the casino's restaurant. We all enjoyed the buffet- the food was decent and we didn't have any dishes to wash! Oh...one more thing...the cashier gave Chris a Senior Discount...LOL! For those of you that know that Chris is not quite to that age group yet, he let his hair grow out a bit and it grows gray!

This morning we were the last over-nighters out of the park for our final travel day home. God blessed us with another smooth day and we arrived home at about 1 PM Arizona time! When we pulled into the driveway, the truck was reading a hot 98 degrees outside. So inside we went to get the AC cranked up!

We sure did enjoy our time on the road, but it was also nice to arrive at our stucco-n-sticks! And if you're wondering what will happen to the blog now... here goes. I'd like to give some of you a taste of Arizona Boondocking. We usually take the trailer out about once a month or so... so that will probably be the frequency of my posting! I'll let you know where to go and of course, share some pictures and events along the way.

To all who have been reading, thank you! May God bless each of your journeys- both on the road and in your lives!

Colorado Thunder

Sunset in Wyoming

Today we traveled from Glendo, Wyoming to Colorado City, Colorado. Make no mistake...this Colorado City is the one in Colorado, not AZ. We are at the Pueblo South KOA. We pulled in minutes before the thunderstorms came crashing through. We're planning on 2 more travel days to be back in Arizona. We will probably stop near Albuquerque or Grants, New Mexico depending on the afternoon thunderstorms.

A Bit More Cody and Travel- Glendo, WY

Yesterday we went back to the Buffalo Bill Historical Center. This '57 Chevy Belair is being auctioned off...and Caleb decided we could win it and store it for when he gets his driver's license! He's only 8.
Chris and Caleb visited with Hollywood the Bull. You can get your picture taken on him at the Cody Nite Rodeo. Caleb refused that! But he did pet him at the Historical Center. They had some special activities for the annual "Day of the American Cowboy".
Today was a travel day...down WY 120 to WY 20 to I-25. We were able to see these rafters going down the Wind River. We always seem to be heading home during the Cheyenne Frontier Days. Cheyenne is not an ideal spot for RV parks and during this time of year they are full and the price is jacked up. So I did some research on rvparkreviews and decided we would stop in Glendo, Wyoming.
We stopped at the Glendo Lakeside RV Park, which is fairly new. The spots are very wide, long and level to allow us to stay hooked up. We were also able to get a great satellite signal! The only downfall is the 1/4 mile washboard dirt road before the entrance.
Here's a view of the washrooms and picnic pavilion. Unfortunately they don't have the code-lock worked out yet, so you can't really get to the washroom unless the office unlocks the door. As the trees grow a bit, this will continue to be a better park. Full hook-ups are $29. Travelling through Wyoming is a plan ahead RV drive. There aren't too many towns and therefore there aren't too many campgrounds.

Tomorrow we will continue South on I-25...through Cheyenne, Denver, and Colorado Springs. We will probably stop near Pueblo or Walsenburg...until then, safe travels!
