Mueller State Park

Staying a few days at Mueller State Park south of Divide, Colorado. Those following my blog may have noticed I've been making my way east in the last week. I need to make a quick stop in Denver (again) next week and will then return to the West.

Mueller is a beautiful park with nice facilities and a thoughtful campsite layout; it is nice to be above 9000 feet where the evenings are cool and the days are perfect for hiking and jogging. The park has the most extensive trail system of parks I've visited; about half are closed through tomorrow for elk calving season but the remaining open trails are sufficient for a couple of days of hiking and jogging. The campsites are relatively large and distant from other sites. There is one camper services bldg. for the campsite; it has 3 showers each for guys and gals as well as 3 washing machines and 3 dryers. This campground is very popular and it is difficult to get a site without a reservation ($10).

Verizon cell coverage is 2 bars so I've made a few calls and connected to the Internet.
