Day 1 Sunday

July 1, 2012

Day one on our new journey started off pleasantly enough. The temperatures here are a lot cooler than they were in Bernalillo, New Mexico, where we stayed for the past 3 months, waiting for our full-timing adventure to begin. We are in Pagosa Springs, Colorado until July 12th

Today is my birthday and Jim offered to cook me breakfast.  (Up until now, I have done most of the cooking.) After the smoke alarm went off, and the fans were turned on, he started over....the resulting breakfast was very good!  We discovered that dried crushed green chili has a low heat threshold. Live and learn!

We have no cell service here at The Last Resort (http://www.lastresortrvpark.info/ )and very limited internet access.  I will get this posted when the opportunity arises.  Other than those inconveniences, this park is a nice place to sit a spell....there's Buddy, the goat, for entertainment, along with the chickens, ducks and turkeys.  We also have several horses in the paddock across from our spot. Very picturesque, right on the Blanco River. T.K. and Stacy, the park's owners, are very nice and accommodating.  We stayed here last year in late September and were impressed enough to come back this year.

The town of Pagosa Springs is about 20 minutes north.  Hope we don't spend too much time there!  With the 4th of July holiday this week, the place is a zoo! Had to do a little grocery shopping yesterday and couldn't wait to get back to the park, even though it, too, is very crowded.

Planning a few weeks worth of hiking, picnicking and picture taking...can't wait to begin.
