Today we retraced our steps back out to I-25 and then South to Colorado Springs. We arrived about 3pm at the Lone Duck RV Campground in Cascade Colorado about 7 miles outside of Manitou Springs and 10 or so outside of Colorado Springs. We booked this place for three nights. While it is pretty nice we don’t have sewer and the site is not very level. One of the big attractions of this park is the giant, sweet Bernese Mountain Dog that hangs out in the office. He is adorable. After settling in we drove into Manitou Springs and walked the downtown shops. The temperature was nice but it started raining. After Manitou Springs we drove back toward the RV park and decided to continue on into the nearby community of Green Mountain Falls. Green Mountain Falls is a cute little bedroom community nestled in the mountains. We ate at the Blue Moose Tavern. The pizza was OK but nothing special. The outside dining with the nearby mountains and beautiful city park was great. The patio was dog friendly and Maverick enjoyed sharing our dinner experience. By this time the sun had come back out and the temperatures were about 70 deg F. After we ate we walked small city park and pond. This park has a large musical swing-set that doubles as an art piece. The swings were really unique and created very pleasing but random music when people were swinging. We joined two or three other adult couples in experiencing music and swings. How fun. Maverick was not impressed and couldn’t understand why we couldn’t chase ducks and geese instead.
