Razor Time At Saguache

3 nights of camping over at Saguache - too bad it takes almost 4 hours to get there..........oh well, we left early on Tuesday morning and had a nice ride over!  The mountains over that way are still covered in a lot of snow and it was gorgeous!  And the streams were overflowing with water!  Not sure I'd want to be a white water rafter this summer!

We set up in my favorite spot over there - and yes, we forgot what a long hill it is to just get up there!  But camping in the aspens is always a favorite for me and the views were beautiful!!  We even got to have a fire each night!


There are lots of open valleys which isn't usual in our ATV travels but we do enjoy riding in the open.  Unfortunately, there hadn't been rain for a while over there and the trails were extremely dusty!  And I mean EXTREMELY!!!!  We're not sure if we're just used to being in the "open" on our ATV or what but in this new Razor, you are more enclosed (we didn't have the doors on and only 1/2 windshield) and the dust comes in and just swirls around!!  Luckily we had scarves to put over our noses and mouth but it was still pretty bad!!

Other than the dust, we LOVED riding in the razor!!  It's a lot less bumpy and the seats are really comfortable - since there are 3 zippered bags hanging in different areas inside so I had everything I needed right within reach!


This is the view from our 5th wheel - it was gorgeous!


We even came upon a cattle drive!!  I could tell there were a lot of cows crossing so told Glenn to just stop a ways back and we did - sure enough there were many, many cows being herded by 3 people on horseback!!  We have met the couple that oversees the cattle during the summer, a couple of years ago when we camped here with Dick and Jane.  The lady helped us out as that was the year that Glenn forgot to put DEF fluid in the truck and we ran out - she was going into Gunnison the next day so brought some back for Glenn!  We took muffins down to them the day before so it was fun to see them on the cattle drive!

So except for the dust, it was a successful camping trip with the new Razor - we'll be anxious to try it out in one of our regular spots and see if the dust is as bad!

The new razor looks great! Hopefully the dust isn't as bad next time.
