What we’re about
Hi Everyone,
Welcome to HIGH COUNTRY CAMPING AND GETAWAYS
This group is made for those who:
~ are dispersed campers (free camping)
~ leaves politics, religion and tainted personal issues at home. Most of us go camping to get away from these types of stresses in life. We all have our own interpretations.
~ are tent, small trailer (pop-tops, tear-drops) or camper shell type of campers or vans but no large RVs the size of aircraft carriers. I will not make accommodations for those who need their RVs.
~ will show kindness and respect allowing others to share their conversations and not be interrupted by others.
~ and, for those who show consideration for the organizers of this group who look for places to camp for those in the group. Please do not invite your entire Facebook group to camp with us. (I’ve had that happen with a religious cult)
I was born and raised in the State of Colorado and very fortunate I had parents who loved to travel around within this great state and took my brothers and me to places some folks have never seen or experienced. It’s a place wherever I go I'm in her shadow even if it’s a Buena Vista morning, a Durango afternoon or sitting around a Mesa Verde campfire looking at the
majestic landscapes, startling panoramas and an amazing ecological and topographical diversity. It’s a land of uncompromising beauty, dominated by lofty, snow-capped peaks; creased by precipitous canyons and broad valleys; and rimmed by distant horizons, mesas, and buttes.
Colorado, the eighth-largest state, stretches across North America's midsection. This giant, rectangular 104,091-square mile state bestrides the Continental Divide, the great twisting spine that separates the Atlantic and Pacific watersheds where the sun shines through the rain and where the sun melts the snow and makes the rivers flow to the sea.
It’s certainly a place where people have found a peace of mind and a natural love for Mother Nature. As we drive down the ribbons of highways remember we are a reflection of this world.
Again, I welcome you to HIGH COUNTRY CAMPING AND GETAWAYS
Sincerely,
Don
