We had a great stay at Lake Scott. We left recharged and happy. It was then back to the boring drive of flat Kansas. We kept seeing these bikers. It was so random. Just biking a two lane highway all alone in the middle of no where.
It was so flat! And nothing for as far as you could see.
We came upon some random road construction. They were widening the road. Why? We had no idea. Mike started in on the insanity of the whole idea. I was laughing until I cried.
We looked up the nearest Redbox because our movies were getting old for the kids. The closest one was 2 hours away. Finally we got to the "Loaf and Jug" that had one.
Next stop was lunch. I loved the huge old brick or block buildings in the old towns. They were always so well made, such character. They seemed to last the test of time so well.
We climbed up to 10,000 ft. and drove through La Manga Pass. It was so beautiful. No pictures I took did it justice. About the same place we crossed the Continental Divide. We saw the Rio Grand National Forrest and San Juan National Forrest. We went from pancake flat to mountain majesties in minutes.
We stayed at Cool Pines RV park. Everyone there was summering from Texas. All old people. It was a tight squeeze for the trailer, but Mike it getting good at the trailer.
After we set up camp we down into town and found the hot springs.
The water from the springs was crazy hot, so they funneled spring water down ton the river and had nice little pools made of rock. Or you could pay $20 a person and go into the spas and resorts.
Nature's jacuzzi right there.
I don't really like this picture of me, but it shows the mosquito bite under my eye and on my cheek a little. They are healing slowly. My eyelid is much better.
We picked up milkshakes, chocolate malt, banana split and black raspberry. We saved them in the cooler for after dinner which was soup. It was a cool 70 degrees so soup sounded kind of good. Chicken wild rice with added black beans and corn. The black raspberry shake was crazy good. We were all sad I only bought 3 to share.
