Pueblo, CO.

May 25 & 26

Pueblo, CO

We started the morning looking for a stop that would give us a break halfway to our next destination and our priorities were very simple.  We needed a place to get a oil change in the RV., a place to relax and  make sure we had electric, water, sewer, WiFi and if we got TV on our antenna, that would be a bonus.    We found all this with a little help from RV Park Reviews, at a little RV place called Haggard’s.  They had excellent reviews even though it was in the boonies.

We were not disappointed as the owners were a nice young couple (pictured above) They bought the campground 3 years ago and were working hard to improve it.  They were very pleasant and eager to answer questions and make suggestions.  The wife runs the RV Park along with some help and her husband happened to be a mechanic who worked on all kinds of vehicles from motorcycles to the big semi’s.  He had a complete machine  shop in his business.  We called him and he said he would work us in the next day. 

I got caught up on my blogs while there and Ton handled paying bills and plans for our next stops. 

We watched some rabbits in our site

 It was a pretty sundown and we were 

content, as maintenance would be done. 

Day 2, Friday, we had an appointment in the afternoon for the oil change.  We were a little shocked by the looks of it...but we learned quickly that you

can't judge a book by its cover

Not fancy, but pleasant, efficient, and he knew what he was doing.

Ton looked over the bikes while we were waiting.

In the morning just before we left for the oil change, 2 young boys stopped by and knocked on our door and gave us a brochure. They told us they were having a Gospel Bluegrass performance at the office that night and we were invited.  It sounded like a good thing to do, so we told them we would try to attend. 

It ended up being a family staying in the park for 2 days and the band consisted of the same 2 boys (ages: 11 and 14) along with their parents.  They were very good and had just come out with their first album.  Everyone had good voices and did different solo's and played more than one instrument.

They played for 1 1/2 hours.

  All in all, this was a great campground, just because of the people 

around us and the owners.  A good experience and all for $13.50 night.  

 With Dinosaur only $8.00 a night and Townsend $6.00 (with No Hookups)  this week, we’re really living on the cheap LOL
