Lathrop State Park, Walsenburg, CO - Aug 15-16
We took US 160 directly east from Alamosa over LaVeta Pass (9400 ft), taking a different approach than usual to the Denver area. The pass was quite easy, despite the threatening weather. Since Willie turned 62 last year, she can get the Aspen Leaf (senior) pass for the state parks, which gives us a very good discount for camping at CO State Parks. We will be here two nights and then head up to Chatfield State Rec Area, just southwest of Denver.
The cats weathered the 16 miles of rough road out of Chaco well and have settled into the travel routine without much complaining. It seems that every time we spend several months and then start traveling again, they get a little more mellow.# posted by Doug and Willie @ 6:24 PM
