We stayed in Cortez, CO for four nights at our first Boondockers Welcome site. It was a great experience with hosts (Mack and Kay McInnes) that went above and beyond to make us feel welcome! When we mentioned to Kay that we were heading to Albuquerque for the Balloon Fiesta, Read more…
We decided to stop and spend a couple of nights near Rico, CO, boondocking next to the Dolores River at Ewing Gulch Dispersed Camping. It was a nice open field near the road, so it was easy to get in and out of. It got a little chilly at night, Read more…
While staying at the Pa-Co-Chu-Puk Campground in Ridgway State Park, we made day trips to Telluride, Silverton and Ouray. We had never visited those places and wanted to see them before heading out of CO for a while, but didn’t think it’d be such a great idea to try to Read more…
Unfortunately, the weather was cold and rainy on the day we visited Ouray so we didn’t get as many scenery pics. It started raining right as we were getting ready to hike to the Box Canyon Falls. We decided to eat our picnic lunch in the truck while it rained, Read more…

We finally made it to Rifle Gap State Park on the last night of our five night reservation. Thankfully, we were able to cancel the other nights and get most of our money back. No issues with the truck, but we never noticed issues with it before either. We arrived Read more…
After Chatfield, we stayed a few days in Monument, at the CO Heights Camping Resort. Jeremy met us there, in order to have time to sell his car before flying to Ireland (and to spend time with us, of course!) Things got a bit complicated with trying to figure out Read more…
I really liked this park. It felt pretty secluded, with lots of mature trees, but was still convenient to restaurants and grocery stores. They even had a laundry mat here, which we took advantage of. It was fun to hang out with Jeremy for a few more days before he Read more…
