Sep 24, 2012 - Day 19

Strasburg, CO - Craig CO Today we covered the prettier part of Colorado. We went through Denver and Loveland and then up to Estes Park. Thank you friends at North for the Park Pass which we used again today. Then we proceeded through the Rocky Mountain National Park. We reached a height of 12,000 ft. and maintained levels of 9,000 and 10,000. We saw lots of Elk and even a Fox. Traveling on the not so traveled highways makes it hard to find a decent campground, but we managed to do so again tonight. Another long day. Tomorrow we should get...

Jun 30, 2012 - Craig, CO - Independence Rock and Points South

(Ron Writing) When we left Casper, WY this morning there was a thick cloud of smoke over the entire city. We heard on the radio there was another wildfire nearby but being unfamiliar with all the local place-names we’re not certain where it was in relation to the city. We drove southeast on WY-220, the same scenic route we drove a couple days ago on our way to South Dakota. It didn’t appear so scenic today since we were driving through pretty thick smoke all the way. Today we stopped at historic Independence Rock, which is right beside...

Sep 30, 2010 - Day Two Utah, Colorado

Hello everyone, well I found out to upload photo's to this web site I must upgrade from free to pay Travel Journel. Ok here is my plan I will post our written journel on this site and pic on my Picasa site. Ha teach them to mess with me. Ok back to our trip. We are in Craig Co for our second night spent to long in Salt Lake to make it to Granby. Good news I have not slipped into a thyroid coma as of yet but have to stop in Denver at Kaiser and pick up my meds. Up early tomorrow and off to Granby, next stop somewhere in Kansas. We also went...

Aug 30, 2010 - To Dinosaur Monument and on to Craig, CO

When I woke up this morning at Bear Lake, the wind was still blowing and there were lots of clouds. As I watched the weather report, it appeared that a big thunderstorm was currently over Salt Lake City and headed my way. At one moment, I thought I'd just sit here and wait out the storm, but then decided that maybe I could out-run it. During the short window of time when I heard rain on the roof...and then none...I ran out, disconnected the power and water and packed up. The route, as researched last night, took me east, then south through...

May 29, 2010 - Craig, CO

May 29 Craig, CO Craig Campground We haven’t had Internet for a few days, so if you've missed the updates, you’ll have to read the last few days to see what we’ve been up to. Tonight is just a stopover on our way to Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Parks. We took some pictures along the way to Craig today. The road was up and down and lots of curves. Each day brings us different things to see. We just love Colorado and would come back again to see more of the sights. P.S. To see larger image of pictures be sure to click on picture. If...

Aug 19, 2009 - Craig day 2

What memories came flooding back today. Amazingly after 25 years, I was still able to find my way to my former house , the hospital, and my former doctor's office (not sick, just curious). What was once the armory is now a very delightful museum of western Colorado history and a tremendous collection of cowboy artifacts. To our great disappointment, pics were not allowed. I have discovered that the hospital where I once worked is scheduled to close this fall as they are building a new one just west of town. The Craig hospital had only 8...

Aug 18, 2009 - Craig, Colorado

Today we arrived in the northwest corner of Colorado. We are staying at a brand new & as yet incompleted RV park called Eagle Soaring. There are lots of wide open spaces, but the RVs are parked fairly close together. Since this is a seasonal park, perhaps they should have spaced things out a little better. A brush-hog would also come in handy to trim the waist high grasses. When Sassy went in, she disappeared. Rascal was to scared to venture out of site. The restrooms are clean, but again...PAY SHOWERS!! It must be a new Colorado thing,...

Sep 24, 2007 - Drive to Craig Colorado

Today we woke up at 5 and hit the road. We decided that we are running out of days and will have to make the trip to Montana next time. We need to make a dent in our trip home, so we are heading for Colorado. Seems like this trip has been more about driving than playing. Something we won't do next time. We also WILL NOT visit any of Brad's plants. We were using the Microsoft navigator again (you'd think we would learn) and once we got into Colorado -- when it was dark -- it decided to take us on a short cut!!! It was an old dirt mining...

Sep 21, 2007 - Steamboat Springs and Craig, Colorado

Had more problems with the left turn signal. Could not get it to work at all. Finally took the end and twisted it around three or four times and plugged it back in, that did the trick. I stopped at a parts store and have a circuit tester now. I think the problem is in the pigtail it self. I have a picture of the wiring in the junction box and if you can see, the yellow wire off the pigtail is cut. The green wire off the pigtail is spliced into the yellow/white wire and the green wire of the RV. All connections are tight. We left out of...
