Westwood Inn & RV Park, Longmont, CO - Aug 24-Sept 20
Located behind a motel on noisy Main St, this was about the cheapest & most convenient place we could find in the area for a month-long stay. We wanted full hookups in case we needed to run the a/c, since it was still pretty hot. Luckily, the traffic noise died down most nights so it was tolerable for sleeping. It also turned out to be within walking distance of many stores and two truck maintenance shops. After many trips to the shop we are finally happy with our truck's brakes.
We played duplicate bridge at several locations up here and found them to be friendly & challenging (except for the beginner group which Willie & friend Sue Horne won quite handily).
Willie enjoyed several stitch & chat get-togethers and also was able to get her former quartet members together for several afternoons of chamber music. The violin remains in Mark & Susan's basement for now, since the micro-climate there suits it so well.
We went birding with different groups: the Boulder Birding Club, which has weekly outings on Weds; Bill & Becky Eeds who are friends and excellent birders; and Wild Bird Center, which has biweekly outings from the Longmont store (also within walking distance). We enjoyed get-togethers with too many friends to name in here, but it was all wonderful fun, very much enjoyed by both of us.
Despite the fact that we have changed a lot of our medical things to Benson AZ, we still needed to see eye doctors & dentists while here, and also took the cats to "their" vet for annual checkups & blood work. They all passed with flying colors, we are happy to report. And for 4 glorious weeks, Doug did not have to carry fresh water.
