Colorado Blizzard
Last week we were planning to take the grandkids down to the Great Sand Dunes to play and hopefully see the Sand Hill Cranes. We were going to stay at the Great Sand Dunes RV Park in Hooper, CO. The morning we were supposed to leave, we were socked in by a blizzard--no really, we went outside and the snow was a white out condition. My daughter brought the kids over and she could not drive home. She walked home when it let up a bit in a couple of hours.
After a week of lovely 70 degree weather we were snowed in the day we were scheduled to leave! This is Colorado weather. The RV park was so understanding and despite their policy did not charge us for the last minute cancellation! I'm definitely going back now.
We driveway camped and I had to run the electric heater and the heat this week until the temps get back up or I winterize again. At least we got the oil changed, the batteries charged, the lp filled, got it cleaned etc. Maybe by our May campout the snow season will be over.
At least we were not out on the road when the snowstorm hit.
