Monday, June 6
The weekend is over and all the campers have left Bradfield Campground.
Dolores River, upstream from the campground, southwestern Colorado
The rafting people have packed up their stuff. Everyone has returned to the rat race.
“Not I,” said the retired rat.
Hee -hee. We have this place all to ourselves.
Hey, we should check out the other part of the campground . . . .
Ever since we arrived at Bradfield on June 2nd, people have camped on a short spur road at the end of the campground. That’s why the crew and I didn’t walk up that way.
I lift Bridget into her car and we take off to look it over.
Reggie, on his tether, scampers ahead of us.
“Here’s a place where we can wade!”
Dolores River is high and mighty these days.
One does not go wading in the main part of the Dolores.
A small strip of land diverts water into a shallow stream. I’m wearing my Keen waterproof sandals so I walk right in.
“Good heavens, that’s cold! Whatcha’ think, Bridge? Are ya’ comin’ in, sweetie?”
“Thatta’ girl!”
She’s so proud of herself.
Bridget steps daintily on the smooth river rocks.
“Hey, Reggie! Come back here and get in the water with Bridget and me!”
Reggie, in typical Reggie fashion, steps right in . . . . He reacts to the cold with a serious expression, but he keeps on going!
Bridget has had enough.
This water is too cold to bear for long. She did enjoy the water as evidenced by her wagging tail and sprightly gait.
“Wow! Look at you, Reg!”
The sweet, little guy. Wherever I go, he wants to go there, too.
He makes it all the way across!
“C’mon, my feet are freezing. Let’s go back to Bridge . . . .”
Wading in cold water is invigorating!
Bridget trots around, feeling frisky, while Reggie zoom, zoom, zooooooms!
“That was fun, wasn’t it! . . . Oh, Bridget wants us to catch up with her. She’s energized, doesn’t care about riding in her car.”
Well, that was a nice way to wrap up our last day at this camp. When we get back to the Best Little Trailer, I’ll put away Bridget’s car, the lounger and the doggie beds, take up the stakes on the mat and pack it away, and tidy up the inside. We’ll hitch up and move out early in the morning.
In closing this post, here are a few photos of Bradfield Campground taken Sunday afternoon.
I took these from a road high above the campground. Do you see the BLT?
Here’s a closer view . . .
And even closer . . . .
This has been a great camp. . . . and only $4 a night. I’m glad we came this way!
