Colorado
Summary: Our first long trip West, towing our trailer. Through Kansas to Colorado then back home.
The first night: a Goat Ranch in Abilene, Kansas where we bought fresh eggs.
The second night: a Buffalo Ranch in Limon, Colorado. We had a buffalo burger dinner followed by a tour where Sandy got to feed the buffalo.
Then four days at Ridgeway State Park, Colorado. We explored Ouray, Telluride, and Silverton. We did some 4x4 offroading over Red Mountain #1 on a trail called "Corkscrew Pass"-three times because we got turned around looking for a marker for the turnoff to Silverton. But we didn't mind, it was an awesome trail that took us above treeline and into some snow.
One night at a disillery in Montrose, Colorado. We stopped at the Ute Indian Museum on the way.
Five days at Blue Mesa Recreational Ranch near Gunnison, Colorado, exploring Gunnison, Crested Butte, Gothic, Lake City, and the Black Canyon of the Gunnison.
One day at Lake Scott State Park, Kansas. Nice campground, but major storms with hail and high winds rolled through. Also had ants at the campsite just outside our door.
One night at a Brewery in Topeka, Kansas that had a dog park and live music. Beer and music were both disappointing.
Stopped in Columbia, Missouri for lunch at Flat Branch pub/restaurant for some really great food before arriving back home in St. Louis.
