June 21 2015 Travel Day to Cascade Campground

We got off to an early start this morning. We really didn’t need to as we only had about a 3 hr. drive.  Our first stop was in Fort Garland for breakfast. We split a smothered breakfast burrito with green chilies. It was huge and so good. I just had to stuff myself. We then headed on down the road thru the San Luis Valley. It was a pretty drive with mountain views. When we got to Salida we went to Walmart and stocked up. We are camping up in Cascade Campground till Friday.  No hookups of any kind, Susan says we are primitive camping.  We made it to the campground around 1 pm. Our site was plenty big but tough to get into with a narrow road and trees. We made it and got set up. Put the generator on and was able to get satellite tv.  No Cell phone reception at all. It warmed up to about 85 but with no humidity it was pleasant in the trailer with fans. After our short naps we drove into Buena Vista. Its only about 15 miles. We were able to get a good verizion signal there. It’s a pretty little town. We headed back to camp and had happy hour.  It cooled down pretty fast as were are about 9040 elevation.

Great Breakfast
