Today, I am settled in for five days at Chatfield State Park in Littleton, CO with the CO Chapter of LOWS.  Yesterday, we spent the day getting acquainted and sharing RV stories.  Today, some of us took a hike to the marina to see how high the water was.  This park has some serious flooding but it doesn't affect the campsites other than we can get to the stables to ride horses like we had planned.  And there is only one entrance into the park.  The other is completely under water.  Regardless, it is a beautiful park and the weather is perfect.

This is the view outside my window.

This gives you an idea of how high the lake has risen.  Notice the stop sign to the right.

 

This is supposed to be dry land.

 

 

 

The kids at the campground were enjoying it.

 

Yesterday was busy, busy.  My former Houston neighbor, Bill, was a great host and gave me a grand tour of Colorado Springs where he now lives in a beautiful home with unbelievable views. 

Unfortunately, my phone was dead so Bill took some pictures but couldn't take a lot of the scenery because he had to drive us safely around the mountainous curves. 

I had forgotten how large the Broadmoor Hotel was.  We had lunch here and then just wandered around the beautifully landscaped grounds and the lavishly furnished interior.

I was unaware that Bill purposely lined me up so I would be in front of this real bouquet of yellow roses.  The picture turned out to reflect an image of me looking like the "saint" that I am.

 

 

 

 

 And of course....there's the magnificent Pike's Peak.
