So we decided on The Bottomless Lakes State Park, as it sits among some hills, hopefully providing some protection. We really like our small travel trailer for it's light weight and maneuverability, but I wondered how it would take the wind. It did just fine, tho there was some rocking, the little plastic door latch (holds the door open) broke... already ordered a steel one from Amazon.
Fees at the park were reasonable, and the park host even insisted we take a handicap spot (I told her I wasn't that bad... yet) but the spot included a level concrete slab. I figured that would be better for the jacks. It was.
Only two days here, one so windy we didn't leave the trailer spot to take pictures until late evening. I forgot how much I dislike dust storms. Anyway, a few pics of the area.
a really nice pad and covered picnic area.
Above... I dunno. Lea Lake is just the other side. Too windy to go up into the tower. If you look close, you can see the dust in the background.
The park was laid out like most of them are, pretty much side x side, and close.
Lea Lake, no swimming, fishing, or kayaking this day. Dust in the wind...
We wanted to head up into the mountains/higher elevations from here, but, all this wind comes from a cold front line dropping temps into the 20's, and snow, so we've picked a spot only a few miles north.
We'll show you in the next post.
