Beautiful Camp Sites for a Truck
I camped here for 5 days. Many friends stopped by (Susan, Davidson, Mike, Burt, Amber and Bryce.) That was the gold. There was no gold found in this part of the West Dolores. Had a Steller’s Jay visit every morning and evening. A chipmunk, also, every morning and every evening around dusk. And there was something very big when I went outside to pee in the middle of the night. The next morning it was 29 degrees and there was no gold, so it was time to follow the river downhill.
From 9,200′ to 7,800′ warmed up the mornings to the 40’s. Stayed here for 5 days. Then came a weather report of high Thunderstorms. So I started looking around to see what needed to be put away. Then I looked up, away from the river.
Three big dead trees over Lilith. I was out of that spot in 15 minutes. How did I not notice them for 5 days?
Truck Camper Hint: Look around AND UP before choosing your intended site.
So, I moved down the river a bit. Saw these folks on my evening walk. How Colorado.

Love the photo of the riders in the river! It’s so beautiful where you’ve been this summer along the West Dolores. I’ve always loved that area of Colorado, probably my favorite place to get away to when I was living in Crawford. Seeing the golden aspens brings back so many memories; while they are fleeting, their glorious golden colors are true manna for my soul. Sending love your way old friend!

I keep coming back to this area of Colorado. Can’t seem to get enough of the trees, the mountains and the cowboys. Got some specks of gold, which just adds to the allure. Thanks for reading and commenting, old friend!
