We Arrived In Salida

Salida 06-08-09 001 Our time was up in Chatfield and it was time to go another 160 miles to Salida …We will be here for a week…The drive down was beautiful except for the wind…We were experiencing winds estimated at 35-40 MPH…The amount of rainfall has made the mountains the most beautiful with an abundance of green…The motor home has a ford v-10 and has enough power to have very little strain climbing the mountains…The twist and turns made the trip an exhilarating Salida 06-08-09 002 experience…We had to pick up fuel in Canyon City and left just before noon…We found a pull out by the Arkansas River and made sandwiches for lunch…We only had about 45 miles to the Four Seasons Camp Ground…We had made reservations for one of the better sites right on the river…The pictures will show what the beautiful view is here on the Arkansas River…We leave for Creed next Monday…As soon as we pulled into our site we had neighbors coming by to say hello…One of the next door neighbors stopped by to talk for a short visit…His name is Art…He is originally from Oklahoma…I want to sit out by the river and just take in the view…TalkSalida 06-08-09 008 to you later…Philip

  1. I enjoyed the pictues so much. Nice seeing things through your eyes. The view is beautiful. We haven't been able to camp for about a year and a half. David has a heart stress test coming up Friday. His blood pressure is too low. So nice to talk with you and Mary Ann today. So glad the tornadoes missed you in Colorado. Sis
