Short Shakedown Cruise

-

Before we headed out on our next big trip, we wanted to take Dash on a short trip to get to know him a little better and understand more about all of his systems. We went up to the Santos Campground, just a short hop away. What is nice about this spot is that it is right next to Santos trailhead, where we have taken our mountain bikes many times in the past. Some of our followers have even joined us on these trails.

The campground is beautiful, lots of trees and shade. The trails at Santos are amazing. There is over 60 miles of trails through the woods and even a paved trail that goes all the way out to the Landbridge. For those that travel I-75, when you get close to the Belleview exit, there is a bridge that goes across the highway that has all sorts of beautiful foliage that hangs off the bridge. That is the Landbridge! It is a bridge for walkers, bike riders and even horses. This is part of the Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway.

After we left Wyoming, we had several more National Parks on our list.   Next up was Rocky Mountain National park in Colorado.   We stayed just outside of the park so we had some beautiful views.  As we traveled on the park roads, we saw this guy. What was even more amazing was later that evening, we saw this, in our campground just steps from Dash. Next up was the Great Sand Dunes National Park, also in Colorado.  This park is small but the views are really neat.  Check out this swirl cloud formation as we were entering the park.  I have never seen anything like this! The dune is approximately 741 feet tall.  At first it doesn't look very big, but when you see people walking towards it, and then see the little specs at the top of the dune, you get a sense of just how big it is. It was really cool to see the high plains in this area.  We were at about 8100 foot elevation in the picture below. We also visited Mammoth Caves in Kentucky....
