Rifle Gap State Park, CO

Three day stop over at Rifle Gap State Park, a pretty lakeside Colorado fishing lake and park at 5,000 feet ASL. How nice to see snow covered mountains on the distant Rocky Mountains and evergreen trees nearby after five months in the deserts of CA, AZ, NV, and UT. And miles away from any highways makes for a peaceful sleep in the fresh mountain air with the full moon rising over the nearby hill.

It's still pretty dry even here, tho the weather service predicts possible thundershowers. Coupla pics to make this official:

From here, we will drive 170 miles east on I70 for a night or two at Idaho Springs, at a mountain RV park.
