Exploring Cherry Creek State Park

I went out to run a few errands and decided to drive around the park and take a few photos. Cherry Creek State Park is HUGE. There's a marina, a beach, a shooting range, stables, an RC flying field, miles and miles of hiking and biking trails…I'm sure I'm forgetting something…all with the Rocky Mountains as a backdrop, and right in the city.

Anyway, here's a sample of what it all looks like:

And the view out the door, back at our spot in the campground.

Enormous Campsites and Puffy Clouds

Look how huge these spots at Cherry Creek are! We need to have a party here, just so we can utilize all the space!

What you can't see is that our neighbors are each about 40-50 feet from us. I'll try to get that photo tomorrow.

Also, look at these clouds!!:

Back in Denver at Cherry Creek State Park

Our new spot at Cherry Creek. We're parked next to another Airstream (a Bambi). How nice!

Alumafandango and Lakeside Amusement Park

Here's what we did today so far: (1) This morning we went on a tour of the Timeless Travel Trailers shop. (Cool.)

Then (2) we came back to the Airstream and grabbed the camera gear and walked around the amusement park while it's still all closed (they open tomorrow for the weekend) and took some photos.

First, here are a couple shots of our little Airstream compound at Alumafandango. This is us on the right, and Kyle Finley's Airstream parked perpendicular to us:

And here's us on the right, Tiffani and Deke just beyond us, parallel (thus creating the cool covered partio/party room now referred to as "The Breezeway") and Kyle Finley on the left. We arranged the tiki torches into a little gate entrance way to The Breezeway.

And on to the amusement park. Love the signage in this place.

Check out the shape of this ticket booth:

The Auto Skooters:

Cool details at the entrance of the Cyclone roller coaster:

Several shots of the Cyclone roller coaster (with Wild Chipmunk in the background):

And the rest of the day: (3) Working, and then this evening we're meeting with a client for dinner up near Boulder. Tomorrow from 10am-1pm is open house here at Alumafandango so we should get so see some cool interiors! Then tomorrow night the amusement park is open so we'll be riding some rides (and taking some photos of the cool night lights).
