In Estes Park, CO at Spruce Lake RV

Actually arrived in Estes Park on 19th, stayed in Elk Meadows RV for 4 nights.  Moved into Spruce Lake RV today for a week.  Leaving Sunday (30th) headed north into Wyoming ( Casper )
We did not like Elk Meadows, (no table, cable tv was half bad, on hill, all dirt, $60/ night)  wind gusts frequently, no shade...
  Spruce lake is flat, with trees, good cable tv, nice showers, table, little wind for $65/night.
We visited the Rocky Mountain National Park.  Spent most of Friday driving 165 miles round trip thru park.  Saw 3 ram mountain goats/ sheep.
  Saturday (aug 22 ) Jan sliced a chunk of skin off the inside pad of her right hand with a tomato slicer.  It will be wrapped for a while.
  Headed to Blackhawk, CO Tuesday for a day trip ( a casino town ).
  Weather is cool (70 's during day, low 50's at night).   No rain.

Spent yesterday touring Grand Mesa just east of GJ.  300 lakes on top. 10k feet plus.  Nice day trip.
Went to Colorado National Monument just west of GJ today.  Looked like a mini grand canyon.

In Ouray, CO, at Ouray RV Park

Arrived today (Aug 5th ) from Durango, CO.  Staying 7 nights until 12th.  Cost  $285 for 7 nights.
RV park looks new.  All gravel.  Nice bathrooms/ shower house.  Located on south end, just below the hot springs.  Drove the long route from Durango, west toward Mesa Verde, north to Telluride, then Pleasantville.  About 200 miles. Would have been 67 mi by million dollar highway.

Two major RV parks in Ouray.  Both are full.

In Grand Junction, CO at RV Ranch

Moved Wednesday August 12 from Ouray, CO to RV Ranch park in Grand Junction, CO.

We will be here at least until Aug 19.  Wifi is typically slow.  No cable, but local channels are good.
Nice rest rooms. Small cabins for rent, also. Beautiful weather.
