Pepper Pod, Hudson, CO - July 6
Hudson is only 40 miles from Shady Acres, and not exactly a center of tourism, so why did we park in this small, fairly expensive ($24/night) RV park near a railroad track? Well, the faucet in our shower has been bothering us for months (hard to shut off and not closing off the faucet completely when running the shower), and there is an RV repair facility just north of Longmont, who seemed quite knowledgable when we discussed the problem with them. Even better, it is associated with Camping World, who sells the replacement unit with a fixed installation fee. This was important since the service manager explained that in order to replace our faucet, they have to remove the living room wall behind the bathroom. The fixed installation fee saved us about 3 hours of labor costs. Since we figured this could take the better part of a day, we didn't want to have to travel very far afterwards, and Pepper Pod fit the bill.
We dropped our trailer off at 9am, bundled the cats off to Pat Andriene's (we stayed there once before when we left our trailer at Casey's Non-Service Center), had a farewell lunch with Leah, went to a "Trompe L'Oeil" (to fool the eye) exhibit at the Longmont Museum with Mary Ann, picked up our trailer at 5pm, and were glad to only have to drive 30 miles east.
The most interesting part of this park was the manager, who was happy when he had campers, but "not too many", since then he'd have to spend too much time dealing with them.
