Road damage
Sticking with the theme of back roads and byways, here's a photo of a paved county road in Pike National Forest northwest of Colorado Springs. Next 31 miles?!! Undaunted by both sign and threatening weather, we proceeded on. Yes, the road did deteriorate somewhat as the miles passed, with frequent patching and a few potholes. But we weren't in any hurry. Taking it easy on the winding road just provided more opportunity for enjoying the scenery of the alpine valley and the mountains beyond.
Our destination, Spruce Grove State Park, was only about 20 miles up the road. Arriving after about 45 mintutes, we were glad once again that we had ventured off the beaten path.

that beauty is why I'm leaving the first of the year for an extended trailer trip of the U S. I'm leaving from CA, and starting with N/W U S and western Canada.

We left Oct 4th for a 6 month trip across the Southern U.S. Some of the most beautiful sites we have stayed in were located in State Parks. Some of the worst were in National Parks including Grand Canyon. We have found no correlation between price and beauty. Some small town parks are free and also beautiful and quiet.
