Carbondale

Left Craig early this morning for Carbondale, CO where I'll be camping for 3 nights at the Carbondale/Crystal River KOA. This was the only higher elevation campground available for the weekend within a day's drive of Denver; it still amazes me how many people are out there camping!  Hoping to avoid the heat as much as possible until I need to be in Denver; Carbondale is about 6100' elevation and the campground is probably a bit higher as it is about 6 miles south on Hwy. 133. I've tried to stay at higher elevations whenever possible but realize that air conditioning is necessary in most campgrounds because shade is often lacking and AC requires electricity:)

I do have a 3000 watt generator in the bed up my truck that I purchased for those times when electricity, and thus AC, is not available but I haven't used it yet and have decided to drop it off at my storage unit next week when I visit Denver. This will save about 125 pounds of weight and valuable space in my pickup and will be one more step in simplifying my life:)
