FALL IS COMING TO THE MOUNTAINS

........and there is a definite chill in the air. Our daytime temperatures are in the high 60's, low 70's and the nights are in the 40-50's. The little chipmunks are scurrying around with their cheeks full stocking up for the cold winter ahead. So far, there has not been any color change but I'm sure you will start seeing some changes in the next week or two. Although, I don't think the colors will be as vivid as we have back home. That is one thing that I do miss......I really enjoy the fall in the midwest.
This was the perfect place to spend the summer and as much as we have enjoyed our time here in the mountains .....we have a very bad case of "hitch-itch" and are anxious to get back on the road. Jim and Bobbie closed up the campgrounds on Monday and are getting the books closed for the season and we will leave Beaver Creek Campground on Sunday and head to a local private campground here in South Fork for 3 days (they have a special rate of 3 days for $30.00). This will give us all the opportunity to get the rigs washed and cleaned before we start heading for the Northwest since we will have unlimited water and electric.
We have our route mapped out as far as Yakima, Washington...from there your guess is as good as ours. All we know is that we will be heading down the Oregon/California coast and eventually be in Yuma, Arizona sometime in November.
Take care.........
