jd1923 Posted October 6 Posted October 6 (edited) Where's Ollie? At Along the River a farm in Delores, CO! They were closed for the season but Jeanna (owner, tiny woman age 88, husband 96, farming all her life and today rides an ATV like a young girl), she said it's been a slow season, so she re-opened for our 3-night stay. We have the place to ourselves and the river sounds just wonderful! Delores Along the River.MOV Edited October 6 by jd1923 1 6 1 Chris & John in Prescott, AZ | 2016 EII #113 | '01 Ram 2500 Cummins!

Looks nice. Mike We're in site 5 which sits by itself for $35/night. Sites 3-4 were also nice and 1-2 are down in a bottom, all for $30. I imagine they're less busy since they are dry sites (good water offered at the farm), they're not keeping up the property so well and the river decks are not level and a bit creaky. Most RVers want hook-ups , but we wanted to be close to town and be alone. The RV park next door with hookups cost double and ALL the National campgrounds are closed now (we drove to McPhee Campground today). Not sure, are they closed after October 1st, or due to the Government shut-down? The Recreation.gov website is presently nonfunctional! Regardless of where you stay, come with empty fridge and shop at the Delores Market! Onsite butcher, great produce variety, local fresh baked goods and the best Cherry pie anywhere. They were out of pies when we stopped in late Sunday (got a small pumpkin bread instead, yum). We got an apple pie today with brown sugar crisp top! Yep, we've been there twice in just 24 hours! Pics from when we were here late june... 5 Chris & John in Prescott, AZ | 2016 EII #113 | '01 Ram 2500 Cummins!

jd1923 Posted October 11 Posted October 11 (edited) Unfortunately, Oliver #113 is in Gallup NM! I say this… only because we had 2 weeks to camp in SW Colorado, but hurricane weather (really?) has brought serious RAINS to the area, now cutting our time away in half! Never happened to us before, as rain is a luxury down here in the SW. Next 5-day outlook for Durango is rain, rain and more rain. Locals were in line at the County maintenance facility filling sandbags! If we had more time, we’d wait it out, but we don’t. We had earmarked a half dozen Forest Service entrance roads, just east of Mancos CO, just beautiful! But given this rain, threat of flash floods and MUD which doesn’t play well with our trailers. Towed Durango to Gallup today, where after an hour on the road the rain stopped. Just started raining good down here by 6PM. So where’s Ollie? Camped at Walmart-Gallup. What a busy place! But we found a nice edge back edge of the lot! 😂 The recent rains created a pond for our visit and what a view considering! We feel blessed! Can better a campsite be found at a Walmart? Back home tomorrow, 3 hours west on I-40 and at Ash Fork AZ, another hour south on AZ HWY 89! If it’s still raining, it will be dry at home and in my garage. We already scheduled pickleball with friends for Sunday and Tuesday! 😎 Edited October 11 by jd1923 2 Chris & John in Prescott, AZ | 2016 EII #113 | '01 Ram 2500 Cummins!
