The homeless guy had gone by the time we woke up and he had left no trace. We did get a visit from the cops around midnight but they only shone their searchlight from the car. The town hall had let them know we were staying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had a good breakfast at Boogies Restaurant in Del Norte before getting some supplies at the local supermarket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We set off along US Highway 160 for Park Creek Campground, about 25 miles away. After about 17 miles we got to the town of Southfork and stopped at a quirky place called Rachel\u2019s for refreshment. It was a very unique place consisting of a food truck, another \u201cbuilding\u201d where you ordered and lots of signs. In my quest to find a decent cup of tea I asked if they had black tea. They did. I asked if the had 2% milk. They did. What could go wrong! I got my tea and was disappointed to see they\u2019d warmed up and frothed the milk! To be fair, it wasn\u2019t too bad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We headed out to our final destination for the day. We entered the mountains along Highway 160. It was good to be back in the mountains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We arrived at Park Creek Campground and found a site next to the creek, the south fork of the Rio Grande. It was a stunning location. I think this has been my favourite Campground, so far. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was hammock time (Stop. Hammock Time)! Time to relax with a Coors Banquet I had carried all the way from Hartsel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mike decided to wade across the river to the small island. I took a video in case he lost his footing. He didn\u2019t. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dinner was freeze dried Spaghetti with Meat Sauce but I had a can of peach slices for pudding! Delicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
