    Excellent video, thanks for sharing. We live in such a awesome country and state that we can have camping like this. Although it seems like 'free camping', in reality it's land owned by the public, we pay via our taxes to have various agencies manage it for us. The more people feel the public owns the land, the more people will fight to keep it open to the public and care for it.

Thank you so much for your adventure stories and places that are absolutely beautiful. I will definitely go on all of your trips when I'm out there. We could meet up sometime too.

    We’re just there. There’s a terrible weed growing thst has these arrows that stick and feel like slivers of glass. We have stayed here for a few years but left because those grassy sticking weeds stuck to our dogs and the hated them as well. It’s a beautiful place though. No longer is Creede supplying water and. Dump too! This was July 2023 the tourist stop in town told us rainbow grocery in south fork of is closest dump. Said water at town hall but nothing. It was also closed for the week. I saw a water hose you might could get water at the firehouse in the rocks going out of town.

I have camped on the headwaters of the Rio Grande to over 12,000 feet just North of Clear Creek Falls. It's an awesome area with really decent forest service roads.

    Hi Gaye! How exciting, congratulations!!! We hope you love it as much as we do! So a full size sheet turned sideways will cover the main mattress (not including that top strip). We now use a mattress topper that we cut to fit the entire mattress and head of the bed and use a queen size sheet to cover the entire thing. Hope that helps!! Let us know if you have any other questions at all :)
