105-Rocky Mountains, Restaurant Reviews

Lunch in the Rocky Mountains – a great fresh deli to try!

We drove from one end of the Rocky Mountain Natl Park to the other and then back again so we could see the views from both directions (and it’s not a loop so it would have been a few hours to get back to start without driving back through the park) so while in the town on the other side, Estes Park, we stopped for lunch.

We wanted something light and fast so we stopped at “Scratch Deli and Bakery”. What a great place! They make almost everything from scratch, including the bread and they also smoked the turkey meat right there. The sandwiches were HUGE and really good. Here’s my review on Yelp: http://www.yelp.com/biz/scratch-deli-and-bakery-estes-park?hrid=bZHYFQWWLM5_8BAkQA1RLw

94-Silver City, NM

We stayed at a great RV park near Silver City, NM

We stayed in an RV Park several miles out of Silver City while in the area to see the Gila Cliff Dwellings.  We happened to be in the area the same weekend as a Blues Festival, so all the parks in town were full. We stayed at the Burro Mountain Homestead which was at the end of a 7 mile dirt road, but we were so happy to see how beautiful the area and the park were.  We were at about 6,500ft there, so it was cool where we’d been in hot weather for a few months.  Here’s my Yelp review of this park: click here

We hadn’t been parked for more than an hour when 3 deer wandered past our home, just a couple feet from our big window.  Laddy was quivering with excitement at being so close, but he didn’t make a sound so they grazed for a few minutes before moving on.  Good boy!

Here are a couple of pictures:
