7-29-19 - (Day 5 - Black Bear CG, Howard, Co.)

We went outside at 6 am to drink our coffee by the lake and enjoy this beautiful morning.  After breakfast we hiked about 3 miles, then headed to Howard, Colorado.

It took a little over 4 hours to travel 189 miles.  We went up and down on the curvy Highway 50 along the Arkansas River.  The further west we went, the prettier the scenery got.


Lauren's co-pilot, Ferny Kat, was very attentive when we got in the hills.   She would lean with the curves and press her feet hard into the console to help Lauren drive.

Ferny Kat really wanted to come out with us as when we stopped for lunch at a pull off along the Arkansas River.

We are at Black Bear RV Park on site 8.  This campground is tight.  There is nothing like a 90 degree turn driving up a steep hill pulling a 38 foot fifth wheel.  Whew!  The campground is small, but has every thing we need, full hook ups, nice views, and friendly folks.  A great place to stay for a couple of days.

We walked around for a bit and found bear scat about 50 feet from our camper.  Hence, the name,  Black Bear Campground.  Needless to say I have my bear spray handy.  I just might be a little bit,
