Well, we made our way from the interstate KOA in Rawlins WY down to Rifle CO. Stopped in Meeker CO along the way for lunch at the Meeker Café. Great burgers! Some road construction enroute which was a little bit of a challenge pulling a camper. No issues today 👍😁
Rifle Gap State Park is in a nice little valley and has a reservoir lake in it. The lake level was way down which is typical of this time of year….but…they say this is a bit of an extreme year with lack of snowfall last winter.
We got the camper all set up and then set out on a bike ride up to Rifle Falls. It was good to be back in the saddle 😁 after a couple of days off from riding. I needed the break. The falls were nice although they come from some fish hatchery ponds on a hill above. Picturesque.
We came back to camp and got ready for dinner. As we were doing so, a couple stopped by to talk campers. He was originally from MN and she was French. Good chat. Dinner turned out good.
Afterwards we watched the sun set and then looked at the stars when it really got dark. The lack of light pollution really makes the stars pop. Gods creation is so awesome! An app on my phone called Sky Guide helped in identifying some of the stars, planets, and constellations. Lots of planes and satellites flying by as well.
Anyway, it was a good day. No cell phone service out here so post will be a few days late.
