Fall colors in Southern Colorado

We left Fort Collins, Co and headed south past Denver and Colorado Springs.  We stopped in Colorado City just south of Pueblo.  We stayed at the nicest KOA campground we have stayed at in a long time.  We spent two days there so we could take a drive up into the mountains.  We also stayed because the wind kicked up and there were gusts up to 50 miles an hour.  You don't want to be on the road with an RV in those kind of winds. 

The road we took was a scenic byway through a national forest and it turned out to be a very beautiful drive with good fall color.  It was mostly aspen trees and pines so lots of yellow but some orange and some of the grasses were colorful.   We got to wondering how many state and national forests we driven in with all the traveling we've done.  Someday I'll have to try and figure it out. 

We are now in Elephant Butte, NM and the water level in the reservoir is the lowest we've seen it.  We'll be getting some new shocks put on the 5th wheel and then be heading into Arizona.
