This is just me but I’d choose Colorado for a home base. And during winter rv in Florida. What those people are going through with back to back hurricanes is just so sad. People in Florida are much stronger than I am to lose everything and rebuild hats off to them.
I went to Trinidad, Colorado for college. The area you are in was awesome. I miss the aspens fall gold when the sun just peeked over the hills. Truly heavenly.
Here is Lake Co Florida Milton was NOT KIDDING! The worst I've seen since we moved here in 2004. We just had our power returned and we're so thankful that that's all we suffered compared to the coastal areas. We're loving your travels to CO as we used to visit our grand kids in Hot Sulfur Springs and the beauty was incredible. Looking forward to your next stop.
We are a bit anxious to get home. Now the rivers are flooding! I’m glad you had no damage. Looks like a mess down there. I think we just have a lot of debris from trees. Also thankful! Love that you used to visit your grandkids in Colorado! We have a new granddaughter 💕
Loved this! You guys sure have led an interesting life. Never been to Colorado. Looks like we’ll have to pay a visit. I’m absolutely floored that you went two weeks on one tank of water and didn’t have to dump! Impressive.
Hi Cecilia! It’s definitely worth a visit and so many more beautiful areas! We were totally shocked by how long we lasted with only electric for two weeks!!!
I’ll be in Denver for a few days starting Friday-my daughter lives in Colorado Springs so will be spending time with her as well. Colorado at this time of year especially is absolutely gorgeous!
@@TilFurtherNotice yes it would be! I’m not sure how you are able to handle the humidity in Florida-I need dry heat! And I so understand how you feel about winter as I live in Minnesota and winters here are very cold and shall we say unpleasant 🥶☃️
Before purchasing our Travel Trailer, we went to Estes Park for over 25yrs. At least 1-2 times per year. Now we travel around Leadville &Twin Lakes. But would love to travel further south. Beautiful area!! And it was fun learning a few of your past history (didn't know you owed an Inn??) Thanks for sharing.............safe travels!!
Estes park is gorgeous!! Also love the San Juan’s! So many beautiful areas to visit all around this country! Yes, Inns ghost, we have a varied past 🤣 thank you for sharing your stories too!
Not only did Florida get hit hard the Carolinas and Georgia were decimated in some places. Sadly the people that passed is going to be a very large number, many are still missing. Glad you guys are safe and enjoying your Grandkids. Stay safe and healthy.
It’s so sad! They are still looking for missing people! We’ve been watching the news and our hearts are broken for all of these people! Hard to be away from home but so happy to dined time with the kiddos and welcome a new granddaughter into the world 💕
We have been all the places you mentioned on your video. We love Lathrop State Park, and we have biked around the park. We've also stayed at Circle the Wagons at LaVeta. We took the train to Fir a couple of years for Rails and Ales. We also were aware of your ownership of the restaurant on LaVeta. We love the area like you guys.
This video is right on time. We're in the planning stages for a month long trip to Colorado next June. It's nice to actually see a video about southern Colorado, most folks do videos about Denver and Colorado Springs. Nice areas, but off the beaten path is always less stressful and prettier.
Awesome! It’s very much a hidden gem. I’m a Colorado native and didn’t know how great it is until age 50. Good luck with your trip and thanks for reaching out
Nice to see your past in this video. Colorado is pretty cool, we like where we are because we’re centrally located to our adventure spots. On a separate note, we’re heading to Gold Beach in a couple weeks. Remember all your adventures there? Travel safe and keep up the good work! 😀👍
Helloooo from Ouray, Colorado!! Our Hawaiian fall just came to an end today :-( Yeaterday, my dog and I were up around 13,000 feet, hiking around and enjoying the views....in my shorts and t shirt. The snow has arrived now :-( Thank you soooo much for highlighting that Southern section of Colorado!! Up until 2 years ago, we were property owners there in the Wet Mountains (right next to Rosita, CO). But, since it is national parky where we live now, we sold it. We have a boondockable travel trailer with a solar set up. I will plan to head towards the areas you highlighted in this video. It is always really fun to stop and smell the roses in these smaller communities. I really really enjoy the Colorado State Park system!! It will be fun to explore Lathrop. Being that you lived there, you are probably familiar with the Comanche National Grasslands out to the east of Walsenburg? I have the concept of a trip sketched out to explore out there too. I usually get puzzled looks from people when I say I want to go hike in the canyons out there. They just don't know what they are missing!! I know my German Shepherd will enjoy doing that with me! Safe travels!!
Helloooo! We love Ouray! Yep, we left right before the snow ❄️ it sounds like you have a great adventure rig! Perfect for exploring Colorado! We absolutely know of the Comanche grassland. There are some cool little canyons for sure! Not many people know about it so I’m happy to hear you’ll be checking it out! Thank you for stopping by and sharing your experience and travel plans! Have fun!!!!
Never knew how beautiful Colorado is!! Stunning!! But I’m with yall on the snow! I like when it snows in NC, here one day, gone the next!! 😂😂 No grand baby yet?? Happy Camping and Safe Travels!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️🐶🐶🐾🐾
I live here in Boncarbo. Beautiful spot you've chosen for the opener. The wildflowers are awesome there. Haven't been to Lathrup yet. On my bucket list. Happy trails. We head to Quartzsite for a breather from winter. All in all I wont ever leave here. Just to pretty and quite......for now. Secret starting to get out. The new state park (Fishers Peak) is drawing folks down.
Hello! Yes, beautiful and quiet and most people don’t know 😉. I hadn’t heard of fishers peak becoming a state park! Enjoy your warmer weather down south! And thanks for stopping by!!
Wow! That park looks really cool and was near a lot of things i didn't know existed. We’ll have to ckeck that out. It was fun to see your old haunts. Thanks for sharing. Peace and Safe Travels.
Thanks so much for this well done video. I'm headed to la vita right now (10 AM, 18 October 2024). I live 120 miles south in New Mexico. New subscriber.
Beautiful place. I lived on Kodiak Island, AK for almost 3 years while in the USCG. Also beautiful in summer and fall but winter was harsh. A nice place to visit but I don’t plan to live there again. I visited CO with parents during the summer I was 10yo. Stayed two weeks. Yes beautiful but I don’t think I could tolerate the bitter cold anymore. I can’t believe you stayed 2 weeks without loading water and emptying your tanks. No long showers and minimal flushing.
Oh wow!! That’s on my bucket list. I love bears and it would be a dream to see those! Sounds like an amazing experience aside from winters 🥶. We couldn’t believe it either! Used plenty of water dishes everyday and toilet but showered in rv park shower most of the time. We have a huge holding tank!
I love that area! Have spent time in LaVeta and stayed at the La Veta Inn. I think I remember you as owners. Did you have lunch with Gracie at the Dog Bar?
That’s awesome! We may have met! The Dog bar was too crazy but found a new place on the water right up from there either even better doggy restaurant 😘
NIce video - I guess it all depends on what stage of life your in and what meets your needs best - in my case, after living in much of the south and along the guld coast, give me Colorado spring, summer and Fall any day over the hot, humid, buggy, states. Especially if you can escape a couple of the cold months.
You guys are such fun! It's a little late in the season for us to go south, but I look forward to the opportunity to get to camp in that area next summer! I'm 63 and I still like to climb on rocks.... Lookout rattlesnakes! Lol! I find it fascinating that you owned an Inn there....and the Son-in-law built the mini golf! I'm looking forward to seeing the Castle! It's amazing! Stay safe and be happy!!
That is gorgeous country!! 🥰 Those views are out of this world!! 🌏 Where were the boots for rattle snake country?🐍 You were on their sunning rocks, Scott!! 🌞 I guess at least you were in tennis shoes!! 😂 Has the grand baby arrived?
I absolutely LOVE Colorado, and as much as I HATE winter (I live in NW Pennsylvania), I could never pick a home base in Florida over Colorado. ❣️ Gracie
I didn't mean for that sound like i was criticizing i didn't mean it like that at all just saying i love Colorado more than anywhere else I've ever been. Sorry if i sounded like a turd 😢 @TilFurtherNotice
@@danettehead7353 🤣 no worries! You didn’t sound like a turd! We’ve had several people comment the same. Everyone’s life and finances are different 😉 we’d probably home base on the Oregon coast if we could!
@TilFurtherNotice hey we're on the road now to the Oregon coast it will be our first time there. Thanks for not taking it the wrong way. Different ideas and opinions are what make the world go around
Anywhere in the Rockies from Idaho to S. Colorado is awesome if you ask me... IF You can handle the winters.. if. I would still live in Casper WY if I could handle winter there.. I freaking loved it.. Except..
Put in the microwave each ear for 2.00 minutes leave in the ear do not clean it then take it out and squeeze it out it the taste very good I do it here at home
I've been nervous going to state parks anywhere on our travels. I can't back up my 30' travel trailer to save my life. I need a pull thru along with electric and water. In your experience have you found that in the different state parks you've been too? I usually end up at a KOA because they always have someone to help me if needed. But I like the idea of the privacy and bigger campsites at state parks. Any advice on how to find pull thru sites at state parks?
Hello! Every state park website I’ve been to tells and often shows a pic of the site and specifies if it’s pull through or back in, the length and hookups available! I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised if you check them out 😉
Hi! You must have missed my posts and our livestream. Our property and family are fine. Just a lot of debris to cleanup from trees and branches. Thanks for checking!
