Rosy Lane

A while since we've had Internet, so here is an update.

Heading west towards central Colorado, we stayed two nights at "top 100" Rosy Lane campground. We had a riverside site in this small 20 unit campground, that was about 8 miles up a canyon. A lot of fishing, kayaking and rafting took place on the river. Even with limited camp time due to the Blue Grass festival, we rated Rosy Lane second of our favorites, only behind wonderful Chambers Lake. Really did not want to leave.

While in the Crested Butte area, while 4wheeling to see some alpine lakes, scared to bojeepers out of Debby (and me) on a steep, curvy, very narrow dirt road that hugged the side of the mountain. Fortunately the chosen route down the mountain was less scary, but creepy when two vehicles had to pass....

After Crested Butte/Rosey Lane, headed south in remote central Colorado, we stayed a night at River Hill campground on the headwaters of the Rio Grande River. The next day with our first choice closed for renovation, we headed to a group of campsites, 22 miles off the main road into a remote, scenic region. First choice was full, so we got a nice site at Williams Creek Campground. These last two days were the only two without reservations. Much safer to reserve in the summer.

Today, we visited civilization briefly, staying at Lightner Creek Campground in the tourist town of Durango. Electricity, water, Internet, hot showers, laundry. Wow!

Tomorrow we head up to Molas Lake at the 10,000+ level. Back to the boonies.
