Sugar Loaf’n Campground, Leadville, Colorado

Our intention was to stay the night in Frisco, but last minute camping on a Friday night in Colorado is damn near impossible. We ended up near Turquoise Lake in Leadville instead. No complaints. This place is gorgeous and they have a laundry room and now we have clean clothes!!

Frisco Adventure Park, Colorado

There are at least 4 creepy white vans in this parking lot right now ... also, it's a Friday and we can't get a campsite ANYWHERE in Colorado. Even the dispersed camping is unavailable. What to do ...

Also, I highly recommend this place. It's FREE, there's a Whole Foods Market just down the road, and the dirt is perfect. The skatepark is pretty fun too. Just don't break your bike before you're done riding. Looks like we're gonna have to go all he way back to Austin to get the bolt we need. #EmpireBMX

The Abbey, Leadville, CO

Our view from our bunkhouse in Leadville. We got to park the CWV right in front of our window! It seems like this would've been one of our better nights of sleep, but it was one of my worst. Someone banging on a door in the middle of the night, incessantly. And then teams leaving to climb Mt. Elbert at 4 a.m. They tried to be quiet, but this is a creaky old building. I'm ready to pitch a tent again.
