JUICY SITE IN FRUITA

Here we are at Fruita Campground in the James M. Robb Colorado State Park.  We have a great campsite. There are two lakes here in the park and the Colorado River is right out our kitchen window. This picture is the view out of the front of the motor home.  We are facing the Colorado National Monument which we plan to visit tomorrow. We really lucked out on this one, it's fantastic!  We have a site that is 93 feet long with full hook ups, couldn't ask for anything better than that.

We drove along the I-70 through the towns of Silt, Rifle, West Rifle, and Parachute, Colorado.
No kidding! On one side of the highway were beautiful red rock desert formations and on the other side of the highway, where the Colorado River flows there were farms and lots of green trees.

We are having a couple of mechanical issues which Jim is working on.  We have an ongoing problem with ice forming on the bottom of our freezer. And now we have an issue with our water pump.  Jim and Kathe made a trip into Grand Junction for some parts this afternoon so we should be fixed up soon.

Kathe was looking for a fresh fruit stand and found several in the nearby town of Palisades, Colorado. They are famous for their peaches. It just so happens that they also have about 30 wineries in the same area. So guess what, they went wine tasting this afternoon too!

I'm loving this park, lots of grass and trees for me to explore.  Haven't seen any wildlife yet, but I'll report back tomorrow.
