Lathrop State Park, Walsenburg, CO - July 10-11
This was not our original destination -- we had planned to spend time in one of the two Passport America campgrounds in La Veta. If you recall, we spent one night there last August, and commented at the time that La Veta seemed to be either past its prime or not yet there. This was reinforced by the fact that the phones for both campgrounds are now disconnected. Calls to other cgs in the area found them either less than desirable sounding or way too expensive, so we went with "tried and true", having stayed here in August 2004.
Lathrop is a enjoyable park with lots of activities: it has a golf course, two lakes (one "no wake"), two campgrounds (one "no hookup"), birding, etc. For us it was a down day -- we went grocery shopping, ate at a very mediocre Mexican restaurant, and walked around the park.
