What are the best campsites in Colorado?

for a bunch of teen girls...& i'm kind of apprehensive about the whole dirty camping thing. but i'm willing to go if its pretty...i like the idea of a pretty lake as long as it doesnt have mosquitos...


Answer
what part of the state will you be going to?
there are several great places to camp in the cortez, mancos area of the state. ( close to the four corners yet still in the san juan range) Joe moore is great for fishing and hiking and they have bathrooms without showers. and the best part is it's totally free to camp there! just a few miles from the towns of mancos and dolores.
if you like kayaking or canoeing then a camp spot in durango would be you best bet. most spots are level enough for a good sized tent no matter which area you go to. some are very low cost to free in price so you girls will have more money for snacks and drinks!
you mentioned the dirtyness of camping, yeah it can be a little bothersome but if you let that stop you you'll never be able to enjoy the outdoors. a couple of tips for keeping dirt out of the tents and sleeping bags; do not wear your shoes/ boots inside the tent take them off before you go inside. if you do get some dirt inside be sure to sweep it out as soon as you notice it.
happy camping kids!

Is bicycle touring a form of deviance?




The Wild C


What are some good reasons to show how bicycle touring is a form of social deviance? what are some things that influence people to even do it?


Answer
Why I enjoy touring, written on the way to Durango:

Escaping from reality (my daughter's assessment.).
Feeling good from the constant "endophin rush" cycling provides (my doctor's assessment.)
Relishing the Adventure of the Road and the illusion of self-sufficiency.
Meeting interesting people and listening to their stories.
Becoming one with the slowly passing scenery and the weather of the moment.
Realizing the obvious health benefits of exercise.
Eating a lot with no pangs of conscience.
Reading myself to sleep in my cozy tent.
Doing something very few get to do.
Writing a journal of the adventure for my grandchildren and great-grandchildren to marvel at their crazy granddad's daring-do (stab at immortality?)

Social deviance? Hell yes! Anybody that rides a bicycle cross country solo and wild camps is by definition a social deviant. But so are bungie jumpers, sky divers, Nascar drivers...the list could go on and on. All walk to that different drummer, but most are law abiding, productive citizens when they aren't out being "deviant."

Slide into heaven shouting "man, what a ride!"
