Well we were packed up and on the road by 10:15 am. We only had 177 miles to travel to get to our new campground (Blue Mesa Recreational Ranch), sounds really neat doesn’t. Well it’s on the side of a hill and the roads are black top, that’s about it, the campsites are all dirt and sage brush. The power, water and sewer are all the way to the back of the sites. I had to get out the hose I use to wash the 5th wheel and truck in order to have enough length to get water to the 5th wheel. Also used most all of the sewer hose I had to reach the sewer. No cell phone service and the internet we have to pay extra for. We asked if we could get the internet service from our site and they said we should be able to. Well we paid $2.00 for twelve hours of use to see if we could get it at our site, we did have a good signal but it is very slow. I thought what we had the last two weeks was slow but this is much worst and we will be here for two weeks, enough about the campground. We had an interesting trip as the road was mostly climbing mountains and then down the other side and up again. The scenery was beautiful and Cheri took a lot of pictures from Silverton on to our campground as we had already posted pictures from Durango to Silverton. After we left Ouray the country changed from mountains and pine trees to lower mountains and stage brush. It is going to take awhile to get use to our surrounding. We came through Montrose which is a good size city and has everything we would need but it is 55 miles to the west of our campground. We haven’t checked out Gunnison as it is about 12 miles to the east of where we are. We do know that there is a Wal-Mart there. Shortly after we left Durango we stopped to get some fuel as we didn’t have enough to get to Gunnison. I only put in enough to get us to Gunnison as the fuel is about 20 cents a gallon cheaper in Gunnison.
