July 23 - 26: Stillwater Campground on Lake Granby

Possibly the "shortest spot" we've ever parked in, but we had no reservations so this was the only first-come, first-served spot we could use; backed up to the lake in a 25 foot spot, meant for a camping van or C-class, with deck hanging right out to the firepit. With a long stick, we coulda roasted marshmallows from the deck!  Gary doused the deck with water to keep it from getting hot (just in case, as he can't help but build a roaring bonfire), and then he had to douse the fire when the wind changed and we thought the deck might melt.  But it was a terrific camp spot where we had views all around, with gigantic mountain peaks to the south and east. The campground was busy on the weekend, but we had this whole area to ourselves on the weeknights...

Lake Granby is big and deep, and turns from calm to scary in moments when the afternoon thunderstorms come in....
