On the way to the Colorado Boomerang

We left Sugarite Canyon State Park this morning and headed north on I-25 until we got to Walsenburg, Colorado. Here we stopped to have lunch at the A&W (have to have root beer floats, you know).

We then proceeded northwest on SR-69 which goes through some really beautiful countryside! Once we got to US-50, we headed west to Salida where we filled up with diesel ($3.119/gallon) and then went on to Heart of the Rockies Campground which is about five miles west of the US-50/US-285 junction. We'll spend a couple of days here doing laundry and grocery shopping before proceeding on to the Escapees Boomer's get together north of Buena Vista, Colorado.
