Heading back to our favorite RV site...
Like most of America we have been sheltering in place anxiously awaiting our opportunity to get back out in our 24' Nexus Phantom. Now that most of the states are relaxing the stay at home restrictions we want to get out but campgrounds still make me a tad nervous...
Happily we have a great solution. My best friend built his dream home in Angel Fire New Mexico about 5 years ago. He has 3 gorgeous acres at 9,000' and we usually get up there 3+ times a year. When he was building the house {3,900 square ft 3 bedroom 3.5 bath including a nice 8 X 12' wine cellar} I joked with him that he needed to put in an RV pad for our future use. I can't repeat here what he said but...
Lo and behold on our first visit there was our RV site complete with 30 amp service. He brought in several dump truck loads of gravel for the pad and then trenched 250' down 3' deep to get below the frost line to bring in the power. In the pic you can see the trench and pedestal as the backhoe crew had not backfilled it yet.
Not only is this site beautiful it comes with a nice collection of wildlife. Elk, Black bears, wild turkey's and deer are just about everyday visitors.
We will be making the 700+ mile drive up from Tucson on June first to spend a week or so and will still be toughing out our continued quarantine in this incredible location with our two best friends. If things continue to loosen up we may swing through southern Colorado on the return trip as Pagosa Spring is one of our favorite summer destinations.
