We returned yesterday. 1 Week in Elbert, Colorado @ Camp Cris Dobbins. Located approx. 75 minutes SE of Denver.
I took a lot of pics; will see what I can get to upload via the computer (TapaTalk has been a pic uploading headache for over 1/2 a year now).
We overnighted @ the Amarillo KOA (Kamping Kabins) on the way N, no tents required - quick in & out.
Stayed @ Palo Duro Canyon on the way back & saw "Texas, the Musical". If you ever do go through there, eat somewhere other than the concession by the amphitheater; the Q is horrendous.
Food during Camp was maybe a 6 out of 10... we had some kind of dry "chicken" on day 1 & I swear, every day after that @ lunch or dinner, there was an attempt to disguise the chicke as something else simply to try & get rid of it.
Hamburgers served like a hockey puck & room temperature cold. "Salad bar" typically consisted of lettuce + salad dressing. Gave us variable additives for the "salad"... one day, celery (that didn't appear again), whole sliced tomatoes, crumbled egg, diced onions... if on a complete bar, sure - good. 1 at a time, however, was odd.
I ended up being the #2 on the equestrian program because one of their "Camp Counselors" hurt her leg somehow & got swapped into the HQ office. Got probably 4 hours of saddle time for 4-1/2 days. "Drive to Colorado to ride someone else's horses for 4+ days."
Did "Cowboy shooting" with Monster... nothing I can't do in my back yard (.22 single action revolver, double barrel shotgun) however they DID have black powder & we did 5 shots ea. on that (the SASS people assisting on that were confused that I had paid for 5 shots each vs. the typical 1 each).
Oh, & our weather was 1 day a high temp of 82 with avg. overnight lows between 55 ~ 60 & the 1st night was down to 45. No rain to contend with. Sucks to be back in Central Texas.
Monster's MB classes were Nuclear Science, Radio, Shooting Sports & ...um... I don't recall if there was a 4th.
I'll try to upload pics via m computer.
There WAS a shitload of walking. This place is fairly well spread out.
