St. Vrain State Park, Longmont, Co - Aug 20-Oct 3
So now we're here!! The park is under massive construction, revamping the campground and adding electric and nearby water to all the sites, plus making them generally more attractive, with concrete pads and shade shelters. When we first agreed to try our hand at being hosts here, they were sure they would have a full hookup site available by mid-August, so we planned accordingly. As construction often goes, they are quite far behind schedule, so we will have no hookups for the entire time we are here. The good news is that they have a shower & laundry we can use in their hq building & the pit toilets are still open. We have an attractive site and will be "roughing it" for the next 6 weeks. If we make it, this will be the longest we have used solar only. We can't run our air conditioner on solar, so we are hoping that it continues to cool off. The cats like it hot, so they aren't complaining. In fact, they are glad we are in one spot again for a while. Wait till they learn they have to visit the vet for their annual checkups here!! # posted by Doug and Willie @ 6:24 PM
