Hi Susie!! It was such a neat find, and so much history jam packed into one area. We're so glad we ended up visiting. Haha yes, Scout finally gets to experience snow! She's so cute 🤣❤️ -Katelyn

Fairplay/Alma gets a double thumbs up. I stayed in Gunsmoke! Well the mom and pop motel looked like miss kitties room complete with wrought iron squeaking beds and pitchers of water to wash your face. The lobby had a player piano and a marble bar. The cost was $6.50/night with tax in 1983. The food was home made and folks friendly.

Again, I was taken on a journey, minus the food and drink. Despite that, I had a great time. I love Open Air Museum villages. Went to two myself recently only the weather wasn't as pleasant as yours. They are so cool and you can learn so much plus be doubly grateful for all the home comforts of today. Awaiting with abated breath the results of the Mexican temp citizenship meeting. See you next week. 👍 🎥 ❤️ 🌷 🙋‍♀️ 🙏

Hi there! A relatively new subscriber. I came to your channel looking at your Navion review as we were considering one. I think now we are tending back towards a 20-22ft couples travel trailer like a geo pro or r-pod. But, as we are still researching, I wanted to ask you about your Navion and backcountry access. Firstly........What a great video! Thank you for taking the time to highlight the Fairplay area. We were pretty close to buying some land in Alma back in the very early 90s. But, it had a mega powerline going across it. Plus, we were able to find 40 acres for the price of this 5 acre plot down in the Sangre de Christo range; and it was covered in aspen trees! We've since sold that and are over in Ouray now and loving it. I will plan to go spend some time in Fairplay and Alma this coming year. We live in Ouray CO and are looking to get an interim rv to use for 3-5 years, until we retire, to do 1-2 week trips. Due to the vast distances here, I believe most of those trips will be focused in CO and the surrounding states. After we retire, we'll expand that to 1-2 month trips and probably get a different rig (though, I suspect that the Navion may be able to accomplish most of our current needs, and then definitely for the longer 1-2 month trips in the out years). So, since you have traveled around CO now. I wanted to get your opinion on if you feel that your Navion really limited your access in the back country. We are currently tending towards these small 20ft trailers; which I'm sure would offer more access than the Navion. But, I have a feeling that the Navion would be able to access 2/3rds or greater the places that one would boondock. I guess a comparison is if you find a location on campendium and are you able to get there at least 2/3rds or 3/4 the time?? Thank you for your time, in advanced! Safe travels too!!!

Hi Alan (I'm guessing it's Alan from the campingalan name, right?)! So glad to hear you're along for the journey and have been enjoying our adventures across Colorado. We loved our time there (including Ouray, what a great place to live!), and it's a great question. The Navion/Views are built on the Mercedes Sprinter chassis, and while not a 4x4, we had no trouble getting really "out there." That certainly can't be said for all class Cs, and we have helped that further by upgrading the rear shocks and sway bar. Definite improvement, particularly when exploring/camping offroad. Couple of videos for you to check out: Our RV Tour (if you haven't already seen it, dives deep into how and why we chose the Navion) kzread.info/dash/bejne/dJeBzpZsn7bRZJM.html Upgrading our suspension (very achievable as a self install) kzread.info/dash/bejne/o3Wbz9qGorvQg7Q.html 100 Days of FREE Camping (shows more of the kinds of places we have stayed in our Navion) kzread.info/dash/bejne/l6CWyc6YqqiWYag.html FREE Camping Colorado & Beyond (We loved our time in CO and here are many of the places we stayed, all free) kzread.info/dash/bejne/hGWosZWeeri9eKw.html Let us know if you have any other questions, and again thanks so much for subscribing to our channel! -Howard

@@NewstateNomads Good afternoon to you two!! Thank you very much for the prompt and thorough response! Yes...Alan is the name! I will check out the videos you've highlighted. That is great to hear about your access around CO. I suspect this rig would be able to access 2/3rds or more of any area we could dream up trying to get to here in CO. Honestly, our largest, and probably only, is the price of a rig like this. However, I know this would be more of a purchase for the ages, i.e. for our 1-2 week trip lengths for the next 3-5 years, and for the 1-2 month trips after we retire. Plus, this is a set up our mother in law and her husband or my daughter and her friends could use it too. A small trailer and a truck or a 33ft Class C would be much more challenging for others to "borrow" it. I was just joking with my wife that these even make great "errand" vehicles as our limited shopping is up in Montrose and big trips are up to Grand Junction. We can take naps there and make lunch! Safe travels and please reach out of if you guys pass back through the Ouray area. We have a tremendous secondary driveway that is fabulous for moochdocking!

Love love love the journey with yous guys! Like I said previously, my goal is to move to CO. Love the state and all the awesome nature it has :)

I can’t wait to go back to Colorado, you guys aren’t making it easy! Loving the content, my favorite RV channel on KZread. Can you guys go to Winfield Colorado? I was there back in April and caught some paranormal EVP’s on my phone. If you guys like ghost towns I think it’s underrated and unknown because of its location off the beaten path.

Howard can cook! That salmon looked great! Better than last weeks pizza 😱 btw your semi competition has a show on the local ABC Chanel called Raw Travel. He’s different but did an interesting show in Chernobyl. More brew! 🍺🍺

No heat? 55 is freezing in the Rv. Gotta crank that heat up, Scout is from Mexico she is not use to that 🥶🥶 love the microwave dish, I’ve never used a convection microwave 👍🏼. The ghost town looked cool and the steins maybe original from Germany 🤷🏼‍♂️ my dad had a bunch from Germany from when he was stationed there in the 70’s. Can’t wait to see next weeks. The snow did come and I’m curious to see how Mexico holds. ✌🏼 stay safe 👍🏼

I don't eat fish but that salmon may change my mind! THAT looked so good! I just started RVing and bought a Dual Sport motorcycle I put in a rack in the back so, like you, my little SUV is sitting in a garage (at mom's house). I'd like to sell it and was looking into Carmax as a solution. I'm glad to hear someone I trust trusts them. Thank you.

Don’t be fooled by this video!!! Fairplay is a dumpster fire and should be avoided at all costs.. whenever I tell people in Buena Vista or Breck that I live in Park County they laugh and then apologize. 😳

This town is not “underrated”.... Everything is overpriced, the homes are mostly outdated and run down. Dogs are not kept on leashes and run amok. The food and the beer stinks. Skip....
