8/5-8/6

Colorado bound

We had two days to travel from North Platte to Colorado Springs where we had reservations.

Our first night after we crossed over the state line into Colorado was at Brush Memorial RV Park and Campground.  Located on the south end of town, the city-run campground and RV Park has 60 gravel sites, 12 electrical with water and clean showers available in the restroom. 

The campground does not take reservations and is on a first come first served basis.  Amazingly, the first night is free of charge.  Each additional day is only $20.

The next night we stayed in the parking lot at Bass Pro in Colorado Springs located approximately 15 miles from the RV Park where we had reservations beginning the following day.

 

 

I suggested that we take a ride to the campground to check it out.  On the drive we were caught up in hailstorm with golf ball size hail. 

We learned later on that the storm was responsible for the deaths of two animals at the Colorado Springs Zoo and millions of dollars in damage. 

Days later on a visit to the local Camping World we learned that every new model in their inventory had damage.  We really lucked out that we did not have any damage to our truck or RV.
