Cheyenne Mountain State Park

We arrived here on July 10 for 6 nights to visit Aggie's brother Bob, sister Joanie and her husband John.  This is a very nice state park with full hook ups including 50 amp service.  Our site was relatively level on a concrete pad and I did not use my levelers.  There are hiking trails throughout the park, but dogs are not allowed on the trails.  This is a very popular park and I would recommend reserving your site in advance as the park was full nightly.  Many sites have spectacular city light views from their site, ours was not one of them.  The sites had mature bushes between sites which gave good privacy and we had good cell reception and satellite TV.  We paid $27.50 per night plus $7 per night for day use pass.  I rate this park F****.
We basically used this site as a home base and did not spend a lot of time here with the exception of having a barbecue one day.  Joanie as usual kept us very busy every day.  We visited the Rosemount museum in Pueblo, Co., the Penrose Heritage Museum in Colorado Springs, took in dinner and a play in Cripple Creek an old mining town now filled with gambling casino's, shops, and restaurants, and we took a hike along Helen Hunt Falls.  We also took a train ride on the Royal Gorge Railroad, went kayaking one day at Redington Lake, and made a day trip to Breckenridge & Frisco.
I understand that Colorado Springs has been receiving an unusual amount of rain this year and every afternoon the clouds would build up and may or may not drop some rain.  One day I was drenched running from the house to our car as it was raining buckets.
