Boondocking again in Penrose, CO

 Not even home a week and once again out boondocking!

Martha and I are planning on looking at some land for sale in the Cañon City area again, somewhere along the CO Hwy 9 corridor north of US50 and west of the city.

This time, just land, no structures to be sought but utilities like power/well/septic tank being big discriminators.  After recent experiences on public land and seeing site squatters and crowding idiots, we are thinking once again its time to explore the concept of private land.

I'll be joined by Martha soon as she can leave the cesspool that is the Metro Denver area and then we'll drive over to check out three candidates.

The road into Penrose BLM areas has really gotten pretty bad!  Rockier than I remember anyways.

Got to the campsite by Noon and was soon set up in my preferred spot:

Temperatures were in the low 70s mostly with a cool breeze blowing at times.  It's supposed to be in the high 70s tomorrow.  Spent the afternoon just relaxing, doing several police calls (have almost filled the five gallon bucket once) and doing some light riding with Yagi to see how many campers there area in the area.

Not too many campers once you leave the area I'm set up at, in fact, none!  The rough roads could be part of the issue and the fact its a weekday as well.  We'll see how things fill up as the weekend arrives.

The light show after the sun went down wasn't too shabby:
