South Fork of Rio Grande Colorado

A couple days rest from the hot dry weather was needed and Pat needed to do some work.  We found this nice little private campground near the South Fork of the Rio Grande with clean, clean bathrooms, great laundry room with book exchange and WiFi. We have been able to do much needed cleaning as well with full hookups.
 We have the river at the back of our campsite and have picnic each evening outside.  It is almost fall here, the trees are starting to change. We have seen fly fishermen and one rafter, but the river is a little low. To get here we climbed through the San Juan National Forest to over 10,000 feet. Sadly, the trees were devastated by the bark beetle again, acre after acre.  We are going through Kansas next and the Tall Grass Prairie, we will pass through Dodge City, but there aren't too many things to do after labor day there.  The cowboys and Miss Kitty's Saloon we understand will be all packed up.  We seem to be one week behind every place we stop for events so next year we have decided we are going to look at the calendar a little better for events like Rodeos and Native American Days, Music Arts Festivals. We missed the Music Festival in Moab by a week.  We figured out that most campgrounds especially at high elevations close down last week in September.  Even this little gem will only stay open to then.  The campground host are going to Hawaii for their vacation.
