September Lazy Daze trip

Steve & I are back out in the Lazy Daze for another ten day trip.  We left home on Wednesday, September 12th.  We had such a great time in Lake City, Colorado in August, we decided to head back there, again.  We stayed in the same campground ~ Wupperman ~ run by Hinsdale County.  the campground is on Lake San Cristobal.  We were in site # 10 the first two nights, but then moved to site # 16.  The Lazy Daze has solar panels,  so obviously, they work much better if we are parked in the sun!  Site #16 was awesome!  Views of the lake and  the yellow trees everywhere!  We took SO many pictures of the Fall colors!  The pictures really can't portray how amazingly beautiful the mountains, trees, lakes and waterfalls were.  Amazing, is all I can say!  We hiked up to Cooper Lake, off the Cinnamon Pass road, on Thursday, September 13th.  Breathtakingly beautiful, and nobody else on the trail.  I think that most people who go to Lake City are much more "into" jeeping and ATVing up all the jeep roads!

On Saturday, September 15th, we decided to go to the Lake City Uncorked Music and Wine Festival. What a great time we had!  I found out (on their website and facebook page) that they were looking for volunteers to help with the festival.  Steve & I sold T-shirts for 2 hours and got in to the festival for a discounted price.  We had so much fun and met so many neat people that we decided this could be our new "thing" when we are out traveling in the Lazy Daze! 

Now we are in Ridgway, staying at one of our most favorite campgrounds ~ Ridgway State Park. 
We hike, mountain bike, kayak in the lake and soak in the hot springs.  It is SO beautiful here.  We are planning to go drive to Ouray and Telluride and check out some more Fall colors! 

I think I have already taken over 300 pictures.  I post quite a few to my facebook page.  i haven't figured out a "quick" way to post them to my blog, yet.  Any suggestions? 

Here is to another beautiful week in southwest Colorado!
