July 27 - 31: Peak One Campground - Frisco

From our terrific camp spot at Stillwater / Lake Granby, we moved southwest to Frisco.  Ah, the foggy mornings, cool breezes, seagulls and pelicans - I love Frisco.  But this is not the 'Frisco I'm used to in California!  It sits at 9000 feet elevation, just north of Breckenridge, on the Dillon Reservoir. We had reserved a camp site at Peak One (White River National Forest campground - also managed by Thousand Trails) with the best lake access, and really enjoy our back deck view across the lake to the town of Frisco. Our campground sits on a little peninsula on the lake, sadly with many tree stumps as evidence of the pine beetles' deadly influence, but still with lovely scenery all around. We've had our coldest, rainiest weather yet on this Colorado trip...but can't complain!

Our first night, made friends of some neighbors Zell and Brad in a little "Bambi" airstream, and had a great evening with them. But alas, they had to leave the next morning....
a book exchange in the national forest campground!
