Now
that the knees are about fixed, the plans are being laid for some serious RVing
this year, beginning with a couple of local trips. We belong to the Tennessee Travelers Chapter
of FMCA as well as the Thor Diesel Club and will attend rallies held by them
this spring. For these trips, we will
spend time in Pine Mountain, GA (Callaway Gardens), Stone Mountain, GA, and the
Tennessee Smoky Mountains.
After
another local trip or two, we plan to spend part of the summer where it is
cooler and after debating between Michigan, New England, and the West, we opted
for the Colorado high country and keeping with our plans to make the longer
drives while we are more able (younger).
For this trip, after a weekend in Kansas City, we will make stops in the warmer parts of Colorado in
Denver at Chattfield State Park and another visit to Grand Junction before heading to the Centennial RV Park in Montrose, Mesa Campground in Gunnison, and Snowy Peaks RV Park in Buena
Vista. After Colorado, we will head
south for a little time at Santa Fe Skies RV Park in Santa Fe, NM before heading home.
I am
really looking forward to these trips and being able to do some of the light
hiking I’ve been unable to do the past several years. If you are familiar with these campgrounds or have suggestions for places to see and things to do in these areas, I would appreciate the info.
Have
a great day and thanks for stopping by Almost Heaven South.

Sounds like a full and fun itinerary. What a difference a "knee" makes :)

Sounds like you a fun itinerary, places we have not been yet, we have to go back to cooler Canada for the summer.
ReplyDeleteLarry, What a difference a pair of new knees make! You're off and running, exploring more of the country...and this time you'll actually be able to do a bit of walking so you can really appreciate the areas and sights you're visiting... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteGlad you are on the mend Larry. Enjoy your adventures this summer. Funny you should mention Michigan, we will be spending time there in July. It is our home state and we will be celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary.
ReplyDeleteI hope you were able to get reservations at Chatfield this year?
ReplyDeleteYou have some ambitious travel plans this year; I'm glad your new knees make you feel so capable! My daughter the nurse says walking is the best thing for new knees, so that's a bonus, right? Anyway, your travel pictures are always terrific, so I'll look forward to them.
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful summer lined up! I really can't wait to see your photos of the scenery and good eats. So happy the knees are doing well. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'll look forward to this year's adventures to places I've not been.
ReplyDeleteYour RV plans sound wonderful, Larry! Both Colorado and Sante Fe will be beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGlad your knees are doing so well... Maybe the next big trip west will be really enjoyable for you so that you can get out and walk and hike more... Your trips sound great ---and I encourage you all to continue doing them as long as you can!!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Betsy
If you happen to make a detour to Rodeo, Ca. you are always welcome.
ReplyDeletethanks
DeleteSounds like a fun trip to me! Glad to hear you're doing well with knee surgery! Bill has one more therapy session for his and then it's on to the golf league, etc. No problem walking for a while now, it's great! And I'm sure you will love all the walking,etc. on your adventure! Take care
ReplyDeleteI just love that you guys are so active with your RV. Chad and I plan to be as active after our kids are grown. I am getting lots of great travel ideas and tips from your travel adventures.
ReplyDeleteWe stayed at Stone Mountain last year in an RV for the Eggfest, lots of fun. Planning on it again this year but RV Valet is going out of business so my sister is working on securing a replacement. Sure was easy showing up and already having the RV all set up for us! You'll like that campground but it's pretty tight of a layout.
