More Family Time - In The Shadows of New York City!

-

Our next stop took us to our first urban camping experience. We headed to Jersey City to catch up with some more of our family.

This location was much different than what we are used to. Definitely not Dash in his natural habitat.

Here we had a chance to catch up with Ed’s niece Rachel and her husband Vincent and to meet our grand nephew Reed Mercer Iadevaia. Reed was born on January 6, 2023!

We only had a short time here, so we had to see most of the New York City from afar. Even so, we had a chance to see lots of beautiful sights, including Ellis Island, The Statue of Liberty and Freedom Tower.

Getting into the ‘campground’ was exciting, but not nearly exciting as getting around New York City on our way to Connecticut. Fortunately, we have an expert driver and a highly skilled navigator on board to get us around safely.

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....
