Chatfield

 We spent our first two weeks at Chatfield State Park in Littleton, CO. We wanted to take some time to get ourselves organized and be near our family, friends and our storage unit before we hit the road.

 

Our motorhome had been in the shop for about 6 weeks getting some warranty work and some solar work done. That work took way longer than we expected, so we didn’t get to begin moving in to the motorhome until 2 days before we had to be out of our apartment.  It was rushed and frustrating and chaotic.

 

When we got to Chatfield, we emptied the hastily packed motorhome completely and reorganized everything to some semblance of order.  There is a LOT of storage in Josey, and for that, I’m GRATEFUL!  

 

Of course, our biggest concern was about how the cats would take to motorhome life.  While there has been some adjustment period, they are doing just fine. The couch that folds into a bed has lots of storage space under it, and that’s where they like to hide. When the morning sun comes up, we open the shade and Mack sits on the dash to chatter at the bunnies. Charity enjoys any sunshine offered. So far, so good!

 

Chatfield has a huge lake with lots of boats and tons of wildlife. Dan and I took a bike ride at sunset and saw flocks of Snowy Egrets gathering together. There are over 200 bird species at the park, it’s really awe-inspiring.

 

We’ve enjoyed spending this time near all the comforts of “home” before we set off on our adventure in our new home!
