The RV roof repair finally started going our way! The Progressive guy communicated with the service guy and the RV was ready to look at when he arrived. The damage was obvious, so a new roof was approved and ordered, and the service department started ripping off the old one Read more…
Instead of going through Kansas after leaving Jackson Lake State Park as planned, we went back to Monument and stayed at the CO Heights RV Resort while dealing with the hail damaged roof repair stuff. The RV shop kept stringing me along, trying to find a time when a bay Read more…
This state park was pretty remote, so we just hung out at the campground for a couple of days. We had to drive down a bumpy dirt road to get to our section of the campground which accommodated the larger rigs. The lake was nice enough, but there was a Read more…
It took longer than expected at the RV Shop (about 3 hours!) because we noticed the new refrigerator was really wobbly when the slide out was in; so they had to try to brace it better. It was starting to get dark when we arrived and by the time we 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…
