On to Salida. We passed the Great Sand Dunes National park and the Colorado Gators Reptile Park. We didn’t stop, we wanted to get to the first come first serve campground and get a spot for Labor day weekend before it filled up. We did stop at the Joyful Journey Hot Springs and have a nice soak. Here is John in one of the pools. Aaahhhhh.
This is the San Luis valley in Colorado, and these are the Sangra De Christo mountains. John got a pedicure in Salida. It made his feet beautiful.
We are camped at Salida East campground, which is a free campground on the Arkansas river. We got a nice spot up by the trees. Sunset on a huge rainstorm coming our way over the campground.
Bev Gray lives in Salida, she is also a friend of John’s from Eagle in the early 70’s. John cooked us dinner in the bus. The next day we went to the Salida Wine festival. These robots are at one of the booths at the festival.
Sue and Bev tasting, John and Sue tasting at the festival. They had wine, food, music and some other booths, like the robots. Great weather, nice way to spend the afternoon. Bev cooked us dinner afterwards.
Sunset had this weird kind of vortex in it. Laurie and Fred gave me these peacock feathers from their peacocks and I arranged them in my basket.
Our last day in Salida we went to the Mount Princeton hot springs. I have been going to the springs for years, but they have remodeled the place and added this high end spa and pools and some very fancy cabins. It is very nice and another nice way to spend the day in great weather.
