Mammoth in the Land of Ups and Downs, Day 9

 Thu 8/31/2023
Sun Outdoors Rocky Mountains to High Plains Camping RV park.


Scary drive today but we made it. The brakes held out, screamingly.

Highway 40 to Kremmling and then 9 south to I-70 are pretty roads, but not scenic. Which is good--we do not like scenic in the Motorhome. No loopbacks or scary climbs or dashing descents--just a simple 2-lane road alongside a beautiful river.

The RV Park High Plains Camping is a great overnight stopover. I should review it. The sites were grass, plenty long enough--not exactly spacious but not crowded. It was very quiet in the park--I only saw one person and dog outside their camper the whole time we were there--but there was lots of highway noise in the distance. I think the noise came from the little highway out front rather than the interstate--the interstate was a few miles away.

The office had a pizza sales booth but we didn't try it out. Water, electricity, sewer all worked fine.

Nice office  staff. They apologized much for all the sticker burs in the grass. They're working on them, but it may be an impossible task. There's even a dog park, but we didn't use it. The RV park itself was large enough that i could walk my dog all around the park and get a little exercise, despite the burs.

Until sundown, we were very happy with our choice of an overnight stop.  But after dark, a strong odor of feedlot permeated the air.  Really bad.  I guess the wind shifted.  It was gone next morning.
