My wife and I embarked on a ten-day road trip to visit our children in the Denver area and subsequently rendezvous with our golfing buddies and fellow campers in South Fork, Colorado. While I have owned a motorhome in the past, this was my wife’s first experience with an RV. We both had an exceptional trip.
This new Class C motorhome provided us with a comfortable, safe, and unique environment to explore some of the country’s most breathtaking scenery. Notably, we were able to witness the headwaters of the Rio Grande River and enjoy a couple of rounds of golf at the renowned Rio Grande Club in South Fork. (See photos)
Our hosts, Anita and Jay, were incredibly accommodating. They promptly responded to all our inquiries throughout the trip.
We eagerly anticipate another spectacular trip in the future.
Thank you, Anita and Jay!
