Old Midland Grade

Probably most favorite camping spot of all is along the Arkansas River, north of Buena Vista on the old Midland Railroad grade road.  There are a couple of spots right next to the river I just love.  Sometimes the river is so loud you can't hear eachother talk, but not this year - low as I think I've ever seen that river, even in the fall.  Connie and I went up for two nights back in June.  Not a lot of wildlife or birds, but did find a pair of mountain bluebirds feeding young.  We took our annual bike ride along the road into town.  About six or seven miles.  Also had our annual flat tire along the way.  Had to visit the bike shop in town.  Always stop at Kay's Dairy Delite for lunch.  We just love that place.
