A Few Days at Saratoga Lake Campground

   Last Thursday we had to move out of Deer Haven RV Park for 3 days. They had booked 11 spaces months ago for this time period so we had to move for 3 days. There happens to be another campground about a mile north on Saratoga Lake so we moved up there. It's not a bad place to camp even though they don't have full hookups, just 30 amp electric, so we filled up the water tank and took off. There wasn't any shade to speak of but it's right on the lake. There was no internet access so I wasn't able to post. We have AT&T for internet but it doesn't work in the Saratoga area and many other areas we like to go in the western US. I'll look for some other options when we get back to the Kansas City area.
   We settled into a routine while at the lake. I would get up early and drive up to Pick Bridge to fish while Barbara would sleep in and then go for a walk when she got up. I would arrive back at the RV around lunch. We would spend the remainder of the day resting or taking short trips around the area. It's been a little warm here lately with highs in the upper 80's and low 90's. With a low relative humidity it's not that uncomfortable however at this altitude can be intense. The nights are really cool. As soon as the sun goes down the temperature drops very quickly. By morning it's usually in the low to mid 50's, perfect sleeping weather.
Barbara's been helping out this week with Vacation Bible School held in town this week. All the churches got together and combined to put it on. She's having a great time with a great bunch of kids.

 
Our RV is the one just left of center. The Medicine Bow Mtns. are in the background.
 
 
We visited the Saratoga Museum and saw the original RV, a sheep herder's wagon.
 
 
It has the comforts of home; bed, table that slides out below the bed, seating, stove, oven, and storage.
 
 
I caught a 16" rainbow trout the other day. Fishing has been good!
 
 
Words can not describe the beauty of Turpin Lake early in the morning, and yes, there are trout in the water.
