Isbell's 2011 Summer

Then we were offered a job at Riverview RV Park outside Loveland, CO located right on The Big Thompson River. Busy, busy summer working with some great folks.

I am so impressed with Phyllis, Deb & Linda with their blogging. Always enjoy their submissions and wish I were more faithful doing it. Well, here is an update on our summer:
After we left Minot, ND in May we then spent about 3 weeks in Hazen, ND and Linda & Newell became our own private tour guides. We enjoyed the time we got to spend with them and the trip to visit with Roger & Gail. It was so great to meet the Zeller’s family, they indeed have some wonderful and delightful grandchildren. What wonderful special memories we have of that time. North Dakota is beautiful, and soooo green!! Sorry, I just don’t have room to put all the pictures we took touring ND… you are just going to have to go and check it out!!
On our way to Loveland we stopped and visited Mount Rushmore. Very impressive.

We left Loveland on Sept. 19th after completing our commitment there and spent a week in Buena Vista, CO visiting with family and friends in the area.

We arrived at Arrowhead RV in time to be invited to eat with the owners and their workampers at Eddyline Brew Pub. Yummy food and great folks to visit with. (We have worked at Arrowhead in the past so they feel like family).

The new community of South Main in BV is really unique. They deeded all the river frontage to the city and there are wonderful walking paths up and down the Arkansas River. There is a unique artsy resting area along the river walk.

Another favorite place to eat is Quincy’s.

And of course there is K’s. Just good old fashion hamburgers and hotdogs and ice cream. You always have to stand in line! Just no way around it, but worth it! Oh, and there is Lobach’s Bakery on East Main. If you snooze you loose so don’t sleep late if you want the best in town.

This is the mural on Nature’s Pantry (local health food store). Cute. and great place to get local produce and everything else that you find in a well stocked health food store.

Jumpin’ Good Goat Farm. We got to take a tour last summer when we were here and even went into the “cheese cave”. They have free samples in their little gift shop as well and that is what got us hooked on this particular goat cheese… it is very mild and tasty. Not at all strong and disgusting like I thought it would be.

Fall has arrived and the aspen trees are in their glory. Our trip to Aspen Ridge with our church family Sunday after church.
