Small Home – Big Yard

Four Corners – Colorado, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico

We’re just 4 miles from downtown Cortez, about 7 miles to Dolores and only 40 miles to Four Corners, the only point in the nation where 4 states share a boundary, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Utah.

Site #37 is conveniently located in the last row of the “original” 45 sites, and right across from the new section that extends the park to 93 sites.  The first row (#1-17) are pull-through sites, but located next to a lumber yard with plenty of noise and dust while we were there.  The next two rows are back-in with off-set locations so that you aren’t looking directly into your neighbors back window.  All remaining “new section” sites are pull throughs, in 4 rows of 12.  All sites offer concrete pads and full hookups.

Our site has a significant side to side slope, requiring 3 blocks under right tires and about 6 blocks under the rear jack.  WiFi is provided by several access points in each row, and while the signal is excellent, the speed appears to be limited to exactly 2Mb for each connection.  The service was fairly solid, streamed OK, with occasional fuzzy pictures but rarely any buffering.  T-Mobile cell coverage was full bars of 4GLTE and we found no over the air TV.

We’re in Dolores to attend the week-long Western Region Montana Owners Group rally.  This is our first Montana Owners rally, and while we probably won’t visit places like Mesa Verde or Silverton/Ouray with the group, we plan to enjoy the daily happy hours, the Keystone sponsored dinner, the baggie breakfast and the pot luck dinner with white elephant gift exchange.

Door prizes were handed at the opening meeting and we ended up with a certificate from “Once Upon a Sandwich”.  During the week we visited the sandwich shop and the Lounging Lizard restaurant, both on Main St. Cortez.  We enjoyed the “SOB” (south of the border) with Turkey, Green Chilies and Pastrami at Once and a Southwest Cuban at Lizard.  There are plenty of food and brewery/cidery options that we’d like to get back to explore in both Cortez and Dolores.

After wrapping up the Montana Owners meetings, we’re joining friends in Pagosa Springs at Pagosa Riverside Campground.  The campground is about 2 miles north of downtown Pagosa Springs in a wide meadow between highway 160 and the San Juan River.  We’re parked in sited 38 & 39, “reversed” from normal so that we can share our patio area.  Most sites here are full hookup, however these center sites (#21-#41) provide power and water only. The riverside sites are the best, however none of the sites are far from the river, all provide adequate privacy and are relatively quiet, even with the highway nearby.  The best sites are probably #80 and #81, full hookup, riverside next to the tent section.

Riff Raff Brewing on the Rio, Pagosa Springs, CO

While in Pagosa we enjoyed both locations of Riff Raff Brewing (“on the Rio” is better).  Next time we want to check out Kip’s Grill and The Lost Cajun.  On Sunday we’re packing up (during monsoon rains) and headed home.  Our next planned outing is Cheyenne Frontier days in late July.
