1st Camping Trip of the Season

 We always try to take a local trip with the 5th wheel and razor to check everything out!  Close by is Tarryall so that's where we decided to go!

We found a great spot to set up and it's always fun to get the camper set up the first time, put the awning and camp chairs out and check out the view!  Yes, there is still a lot of snow on the mountains!


This guy almost walked right into our camp!!!  He watched us for awhile and then sauntered off - and sure didn't seem to be scared of us!


Camp is all set up and Glenn's happy to be drinking a beer!  It was cool out so we donned jeans and sweatshirts to take our first ride in the razor!


Gorgeous views!  But the razor wasn't running right - once again, Glenn thought he had it fixed but it was still making a horrible noise so we only drove it for about an hour and then headed back to camp!  As a side note, it's all tore apart in the shop right now, waiting for parts!!


Glenn decided that since we really couldn't ride around, that he wanted to move the next day closer to the area where he could go rock and gem hunting!  I said sure so we picked up the next day and moved.  Our spot again was good and just a quick walk away from this great campsite (for tents) that had the best place for a campfire!


Guess this picture got out of order because this was taken on our razor ride, high up with beautiful views!


Here's a picture of the great rock formations that were right beside us - I enjoyed walking up there for my daily walks and checking it out!  Glenn did some gem hunting right across the road and we enjoyed our second night of camping!

So besides the razor, the 5th wheel worked out fine - one always wonders if you're going to have a broken pipe in the 5th wheel after the long, long winter but Glenn does a great job of getting it ready for winter and all was fine!  Here's to an ALMOST perfect start to summer!
