A Productive Start!
Our adventure began soon after my youngest graduated from high school and moved into to her off campus house in Boulder with her sister and roommate.
The first 2 places we camped were nearby our previous home in Fort Collins, as well as close to Boulder. We stayed nearby to help move the girls in, get them settled and also help plan a 21st birthday celebration for my oldest.
One of those locations was Horsetooth Reservoir State Park, which is located in Fort Collins, CO. The other was called St. Vrain State Park in Firestone, CO (which is the closest state park to RV camp at near Boulder.). We’d camped and boated at Horsetooth a lot and were familiar with that location. We enjoyed our time there a lot. St. Vrain was fine for what we needed to accomplish, but less desirable in regards to the location in our opinion. Still, it was clean and safe and served it purpose for us. In case you live in Colorado and are interested in checkin these 2 state parks out, here are links to the websites below:

During those stays, I didn’t document much. We were still busy helping with moving stuff out of our old home in Fort Collins (as well as my oldest daughter’s old apartment in Boulder) and into a storage unit in Windsor, CO (until we were able to help move the items from storage into my 2 daughters new rental home in Boulder). So we were pretty busy and mainly just crashed in our camper at the end of each day. There might be a photo of each site on the “Places” portfolio folder you can view though. Not too exciting of a start, but we wanted to stay close to the girls to help in any way we could before we really embarked on our journey. But, that was pretty much how and where we spent our first 2 and a half weeks of our journey. So, no regrets!
