Day 2 Lake Pueblo State Park Pueblo, Colorado

We slept well. It is peaceful and quiet here. The song of the cicadas lulled us to sleep. There was a gentle cool breeze through our open bedroom windows. The sky was pink when we woke up.

We gathered water and snacks and headed into Pueblo with our bikes on the back of the Jeep. Pueblo has a system of paved multi use trails over thirty miles long. We parked at a trail-head by the Arkansas River and began our ride. The path was mostly flat with some small hills. It was a pleasant day for cycling!

We stopped in this park for our snack. In the 1960’s a flood claimed all of the houses in this area. A group of mothers got together to make a playground and park for the children here. It’s a very nice park!

We returned to Lake Pueblo around noon and took a Jeep tour around the lake.

We had lunch and spent some quiet time in the RV this afternoon. At 5pm we set out for the Colorado State Fair. Dinner was fried pickles and ice cream!

The sun was just setting as we got back to the campground.
