Off to Frontier Days

20 07 2024

In what has become an annual tradition, we’re headed to Cheyenne, WY for the 128th presentation of the “Daddy of ‘em All” rodeo, carnival and concerts.  We’re seeing two concerts this year, Lainey Wilson on Friday and Thomas Rhett on Saturday.  And, we’ll spend 1 afternoon enjoying the rodeo and carnival.

But, before arriving in Cheyenne, we’re parked at Boyd Lake State Park, just north of Loveland, CO.  We’ll be in two sites during our 4 night stay, #39 and #126.  Both sites offer 50A electric. Water can be filled on arrival, and there’s a dual dump station for use on departure.  The big news at Boyd is the expansion and rebuilding of the former A loop.  Originally with about 30 sites, the loop has been expanded to the north and now boasts about 85 sites, with about half of these new sites offering full hookups!  The construction fencing and gates are still closed on this new area as they finalize site utilities and try to get some ground cover to grow.  With an planned opening date in June, they appear to be about 90 days or more behind schedule.  But, this new space is going to be great – we can’t wait to check it out next year!

In Cheyenne, we’re at AB Camping again this year – we think the best and only option for CFD stays.  The BBQ restaurant serves up tasty burritos for breakfast, amazing smoked meats for lunch and dinner along with delicious pies and ice cream for anytime. And, with regular shuttle service to Frontier Park, no need to hassle with parking and traffic. Thanks again Marc and Jane – it was a great stay!

Cheyenne Mountain State Park, site #16

From Cheyenne we’re headed to Cheyenne Mountain State Park outside of Colorado Springs.  We’re parked on Gobblers Gove loop, site #16 for the next 3 nights.  As with many sites in this park, the views out across Colorado Springs are awesome.  From Cheyenne Mountain we’re headed home.  With only 6 weeks at home since the beginning of the year, we’re anxious to actually spend some time there.
