Limon, CO
July 18 - 20
Someone might not think that traveling to Limon in the middle of summer
would be a very good idea, but the trip worked out just fine. Temperatures
were not too hot, and the Aspen Leaves Chapter had access to the air
conditioned meeting room.
The trip was interesting as we shared the RV park with a traveling
"combine group". They were in the area harvesting winter wheat
and brought all of their possessions with them, it seemed. Lots of farm
vehicles and kids.
Chapter members enjoyed a weekend of both indoor and outdoor games and
lots of good home cooked meals.

Arrowhead Point RV Park
Buena Vista, CO
This site, in the upper Arkansas
Valley region is certainly one of the most beautiful in the state. Located
near the contenental divide, the area has an unending supply of scenic
beauty.
The only glitch for this trip was the regular rain the washed out the
Saturday morning breakfast that had been planned by the park owners. As
always, chapter members came up with a contingency plan and no one went
hungry.

Strasburg, CO
October 3 - 5
Our final camping trip for the year
was held at a traditional park, the Strasburg KOA. Each year seems
different from the previous years, and 2008 was no exception. The fall
colors were quite late this year and so we were not treated to the
explosion of yellows and oranges as is usually the case.
We had a big turn out as usual for the last camp out and everyone had a
great time.
It is a little sad to winterize the vehicles for 2008 but most were
content in the knowledge that the 2009 camp season is only 5 months away.
"See you in April at Johnson's Corner"

Our November luncheon was held at
a longtime favorite site, The Old Neighborhood Restaurant. The food was
good as always and we had a good number of people attending with 14 of our
19 rigs represented.
The weather held out nice for us, an unusual thing in November. This is
usually the month that we get a good taste of the winter to come.
