Boondocking near Divide, CO

I displaced this morning to a Pike-San Isabel National Forest dispersed camping area near Divide.

The route Google maps had me take involved High Park Road.  Boy, they sure named that road correctly!  Steep climbs had poor Uma, the VRRV as she towed the Honda CR-V uphill.


Note to self: while on an uphill climb, do not stop to let traffic pass, you'll not be able to accelerate enough to regain previos climb speeds!

Had Martha been with me, we would have disconnected the CR-V and she would have driven it separately.  Oh well.  I'll try and avoid this route in the future!

Anyways, finally made it and found a nice spot with good vistas of nearby mountain peaks 


I'll be here about a week or so.  Martha is joining me after the weekend.  Friends of ours: Jenny and Scott are going to be camping in the Mueller State Park which is about 12 miles away.  The plan is to visit with them.


More to follow ....

I’m amazed at how anemic the V-10 seems to be.

Yep, RichardM, anemic. In a way, it's good to hear yours performs similar to mine. Have you tried towing the jeep with the Class C?
