Another windy morning with a forecast for even stronger winds in the afternoon made it an easy decision to pack up. We stopped at the Sand Dunes and waded through the creek. We could feel the wind picking up so after about 30 minutes we headed back through the creek to the car.
We drove around the campground in the park making note of several spaces that would work for us if we want to come back.
Heading back towards home we decided we weren’t ready to go home. We had enough supplies for at least one more day, so as we were driving along we thought of Creede and the Palisades campground. We drove all the way across the San Luis valley, dust blowing everywhere to South Fork. Just 10 miles up the road is the campground. We are the only ones here tonight having our choice of sites including the campground host site. We are in site 3 right in the Rio Grande River. There’s no fee to camp here since it’s off season. The bathrooms are open and clean. But we didn’t get away from the wind! We even ate our dinner inside the camper, a first for us. It’s also a bit chilly- mid 40’s. We will most likely head home tomorrow. Happy campers!
