Exploring the Del Norte area

 

We are in Creede

Got my License

Ready to catch the limit

Plenty of scenery

Fell well short of my limit but had a good time

Well been here a while and got most of my rat killing done. We spent some time looking around the area to see how this town is laid out. We drove by the school and Kris and Franki are really impressed with it. They found out that the kids here only attend school four days a week! 

OK that was the selling point on the school. They are all for that. Franki is really into sports and they have a great girls sports curriculum with no transgenders. Not sure what that is all about but at least we don't have to find out here.

I got my fishing license the other day at $111.00 big ones! WOW! They are proud of the fishing license here. I hope I put plenty of food on the table at that price!

Headed out to Beaver Creek Reservoir. I fell short of my limit but had a good time and enjoyed the scenery. While fishing we spotted an Eagle searching for lunch. He struck out but getting to see it was well worth the days stay.

I think everyone had a good time. We had a picnic and soaked up some good sunshine. It was cool and some of us got sunburned!

We will continue to have this kind of fun here...

I'm Home

Home Sweet Home

Rio Running High and Fast

Jennifer's Home

 Last Tuesday Sherri Kris and I arrived at our new home site here in Del Norte Colorado. It is not a destination park but it is a beautiful park right on the Rio Grande River. 

We have not stopped since we arrived. Our daughter's HWH was repaired before she left to come up here and it failed to work upon her arrival. We found out that it was not the correct heater and they had to send her the right one...which by the way I had to install.

Next my HWH went out and I had to call the roving repair person to check mine out. It was shot so we had to turn it in on our warranty along with the ceiling fan in the bath and the water pump...which have all been out for some time. So you can see we have had an active first week. 

Our friends from Longview Texas also traveled with us. Their slide broke upon arrival here and that is still waiting to be repaired! I hate to say "What Next" for fear it will be revealed to me!

We did get to travel to Big Meadow and have a picnic. Our younger crew took off on a hike around the lake. They also did a side trip up the side of the mountain to see the snow which is still with us.

The Rio is running very deep and very fast! Have not done any fly fishing but I intend to. 

There are many plans in the making and soon we will have it all together...
