When we planned this trip we thought we would be in Estes Park for the holiday weekend but it didn't work out that way. I called my cousin in Denver and ask if we could hang out with them and their friends over the holiday. Since they all have RV's they make a point of camping out on the holiday weekends and others. The problem was that the state park they were camping in is extremely popular and reservations are made months in advance and at that point the campground was full. However there was a private campground about nine miles from the state park so we got reservations there.
What we didn't know was that the nine miles was mostly straight up. Our campground is one of three in the U.S. over 10,000 feet in elevation! But the view is great. Both Betsy and I think that this is probably the best view of all the campgrounds we've ever stayed. After settling in, we headed over to the park to meet up with "our Colorado friends". They have been friends for years and since my cousin and his wife are in the group they have graciously allowed us to join them in their travels. I'm pretty sure that Betsy and I are on probation status at this point, but we haven't been kicked out yet. With Betsy and I the group consists of four couples with a total of five dogs. What a sight we are when we move about. They are really a fun group.
