In August of 2019, my wife and I decided to take a trip to Colorado to see my son.  This was our first long trip with Titan and Choctaw on board in the RV.  We didn’t feel the long trip would be a problem for Titan and Choctaw because they loved being in the RV and loved being with us. Titan was use to traveling in a vehicle for lengthy periods of time so we knew he wouldn’t have any issues.  Choctaw is adaptable to just about anything so we didn’t feel like the long trip would bother her either.

We started the trip on a Tuesday morning and decided to take a couple of days to get to Colorado.  On the first day, we drove to Oklahoma City and stayed at the Twin Fountains RV Resort.  I would highly recommend this RV resort to anyone who is traveling through Oklahoma.  We didn’t get to check out all the accommodations that the resort had to offer because we were passing through, but I would definitely stay there again.  On the second day, we drove to Wakeeney, Kansas and stayed at the KOA Campground that was right off  I-70.  It was actually a nice little campground to stop for the night.  However, the mosquitoes the next morning were as big as the RV and they were in mass quantity.  We couldn’t even open the door to get in and out of the RV without them flying inside. It was horrible!!  Needless to say, I won’t be staying at this campground ever again.

After we left the KOA, we drove the rest of the way to Golden, Colorado.  We arrived at the Dakota Ridge RV Resort early that afternoon and were escorted to our site. It took us a little while to set up but once we got everything done, we took Titan and Choctaw for a walk around the resort to get familiar with the layout. As my wife and I walked around, several people stopped us to look at Titan.  One particular man was very curious about Titan and asked if he was a protection dog.  My wife told the man she and Titan had recently retired from law enforcement which made him even more curious about Titan.  As my wife bonded with the man, Choctaw and I kept walking around to find the most important areas which was the pee and poop zones. After we got familiar with that, we walked back to the RV to call my son. I wanted to let him know that we had arrived and the location of the RV resort.  My son drove about 20-30 minutes from Boulder to meet us.  We all had dinner and talked about the festivities over the next several days.  After we settled in for the evening, we talked about how amazed we were with how Titan and Choctaw handled the trip. They did absolutely amazing during the two day adventure to Colorado.

The next day we all decided to explore what Golden had to offer.  It’s a beautiful town with great outdoor adventure, great breweries, great restaurants, and the best margarita ever.  I grew up snow skiing in Colorado but I had never been to Golden.  The one thing that shocked me was the weather.  It was very warm and that’s not normal for Colorado.  It got up to 90 degrees on one of the days and that’s way to hot for Colorado. Nevertheless, we enjoyed the time we had with my son and we really enjoyed Golden.  We will be back!!

On the drive back home, we decided to go down I-25 toward New Mexico then cut over into Texas and take I-40 back to Arkansas.  The drive was long and instead of taking three days to get back, we drove it in two.  We stopped in Amarillo, Texas and stayed at the Oasis RV Resort.  It was right off I-40 and it was very nice.  We didn’t arrive until after they had closed but we knew the number of our RV site.  Once we got set up, we took Titan and Choctaw for some needed play time.  The next morning, we got up and hit the road to head home. Those two days were long but we made it.  And as usual, Titan and Choctaw did great!!

Next up, a trip in the RV with Titan and Choctaw to the Gulpha Gorge Campground in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
