Winter Blahs

There's not much hope of camping in Colorado in the Winter. It's cold, it's snowing, and it's just plain not a good idea! However, I can plan and dream of things like:
Where to go on Spring Break.
What new recipes to try in the crockpot.
Which more remote campgrounds to try with our new generator.

Thinking back to our final camping trip of 2013 which was at Pueblo Reservoir makes me determined that, one way or another, we MUST get our Wind Cheeta installed before we set off on our first 2014 trip. Randy Floyd, who designed the Wind Cheeta, now has a patent for it. It's a great invention.

It was dry and windy at Pueblo. Bob-a-Dog loved it and had a great time in the lake. We didn't stay very long though because a huge wind came in and everything was blowing away - dog crate, picnic table, chairs ...



We did visit Bishop's Castle to see the latest progress. That man is insanely brilliant, and seems to be creating a much more commercial enterprise now. It didn't start out that way, but I think the need for money for construction materials has surpassed his fundraising efforts.









The wind must have been 60 mph after we left the castle. We had to stop at one point to pull a tree off the road. It had blown down from the slope above.

The moral of this story is ... we really DO have to get that Wind Cheeta installed!
