This was such a find for us. We went to visit the monument as we did many years ago with Wendy's parents and decided to take a look at the campground on the way out. We liked it and moved in for a week :) There are quite a few trails to conquer and the scenery demanded we take hundreds of pictures; a few I'll post here. It was a very calming and soul satisfying experience. We plan to return next year, God permitting, and spend the maximum 2 weeks..hopefully on the same spot. The turkeys know us by name :) These little guys come through the campsite most every day :) As you can see, the view is pretty awesome! I photo-bombed this one...lol We find the prairie dogs are too irresistible to ignore. This one was a little too aggressive, I gave him a wide berth! Many climbers make the climb most every day. A couple stayed next to us. They climbed the monument 3 times in 2 days. Of course, they were much younger than I. What's pretty cool is that they show "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" every night at 6pm. BYOB :) One very cool thing happened to us here...we met up with Alberta and Randy, a couple we met at the Oliver rally in Alabama earlier this year. We didn't get to spend as much time with them as we would have liked.
