Greetings from Colorado

About 6 years ago my wife and I went camping with the family. At that time we were in a tent. And it rained the entire weekend.

Came back home and bought a light weight popup camper. I fixed some things up in it. We had it for a couple of years and then decided, since we were getting older and the frequent trips in the middle of the night to the Vaults was getting old, to upgrade to a camper that had a bathroom.

Bought an 18ft Shasta Oasis. I added a second battery and propane tank, a couple of other little conveniences and we thought we were good to go.

Then we got a dog. A Rottweiler, to be specific. The last weekend in August this year we decided that since sh was the size of a small teenager and once we both retire we want to do more traveling that this Shasta wasn't going to fit the bill long term.

So last weekend we bought a 2019 Jayco JayFeather 27BH. We got a great deal on it and so far it's been real nice. Got all our stuff loaded in to it and still have room left over

Now we're just looking for a place near home here in Colorado (near Denver) where we can get it out for a weekend before the campgrounds close up for the year.

Make sure you make reservations, even in the fall on weekends a lot of the campgrounds fill up.

State Parks.... Chatfield is wonderful reservations as well as first come first serve, also Cherry Creek, but it's reservations only.

Congrats. Lake Pueblo State Park always has spots open on weekends. Anything closer to Denver is usually booked up, although I just grabbed a spot at Chatfield for this upcoming Friday night. Somebody must have cancelled. Good luck and safe travels!

We're heading up to St Vrain on the 14th for 2 days. It's pretty close to home so if there's anything that we need we won't be too far away.

I've picked up some MaxxAir covers for the vents and a new hitch lock. That hitch is hard to find a lock for because of how wide it is.

I'll get some pictures while we're out and post them up here.
