When we left Smith Center, we weren't sure where we were going to land for the night. With getting such an early start plus gaining an hour from going from Central to Mountain Time Zone, we decided that we would just head towards Colorado Springs as that would pretty much get us off the open plains (no complaint to be heard from me). It was a 380 mile day for us. We decided that we did not want to stay at the RV park in Falcon and the closest other RV park was in Fountain and was a KOA. We had passed it on I-25 and thought it looked decent so we pulled in around 1:30 p.m.
This RV park is expensive, large number of sites, lots of kids, and lots of dirt. When the wind blows, it must be a real mess not to mention when it rains. The site was long and level enough to stay hooked-up but as we needed fuel we unhooked and went into town for fuel for the truck and us. The KOA has wifi but it didn't seem to work at our site. John and I agreed that we seem to be striking out in the RV park department in the area around Colorado Springs because we wouldn't come back here again either. The real deal breaker for us was at 1:48 a.m. it sounded like a train was coming through the park. John and I both just about came out of bed. Every hour after that, here comes another train. Not too much sleep going on when you keep getting woken up by train whistles.
