We’re bound for Dolores, CO and the Western Regional Montana Owners Club Rally. However, we’ll make 2 stops before the rally and one after.
On Friday we packed up and made the very short drive (12 miles) to Circle the Wagon’s in La Veta, CO. We’re joining up with friends that we met several years ago when they were work camping in this park. This is also the park where we spent most of the Summer & Fall during the house build in 2018. It as a weekend full of great food & fun – from the new Lokal Burger café in the former Corners Diner building to a fabulous dinner at Alys’ Restaurant. https://www.alysrestaurant.com/
While in La Veta we learned about the grand opening of the Mountain Merman Brewing Company on July 1st. This new brewing company is in the former location of the Capture Colorado real estate office on Main Street.
They already have collaborative brews in the works for opening day with Square Peg Brewerks in Alamosa and Platt Park Brewing in Denver.
Good Luck JD & Jen, we can’t wait to come visit soon!
On Tuesday we’re bound for Woods & River Campground in Del Norte:

We last visited this park in 2020. Several upgrades are immediately noticeable, a big new “lodge” building is underway, and the WiFi system has been upgraded. However, as with everything – prices are up. Our 2020 visit was $45/night, this visit is $57/night. Ouch!

“Out the Back Window”: Rio Grande River at Woods & River Campground, Del Norte, CO
We’re back in a riverside site, and on our previous visit these sites had no WiFi service. With new towers along the river, downloads blaze along at over 80Mb and uploads are nearly that fast. The T-Mobile network also appears to have been upgraded, screaming along at 30Mb download and nearly 10Mb upload. Apparently there’s plenty of bandwidth in this sleepy little town along the Rio Grande river!
Next stop, West View RV park in Dolores. More from there…
