Ep. 209: Leadville, Colorado | RV travel camping history

[@sar4x474]

Sir, I can’t emphasize enough how wonderful your videos are. Your videography, music selection and editing offer a serene and picturesque view into what you are seeing for yourself. Your narratives are always interesting and educational. Keep up the incredible work. Cheers!

[@michaeltablet8577]

Very well said and I agree!

[@GrandAdventure]

SAR4x4, thanks so much! Gotta pin this comment. 😁 Your kind words are sincerely appreciated, and motivate us to keep doing what we do.

[@gorrdd]

Thanks Marc. It's your history review that makes these episodes so interesting. I really like that you take the time to do that. Fascinating adventures for sure. Gord

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you as always, Gord.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Once again, the Boondocking King gives us majestic views and royal information. I’m with you- when we finally boondock, we want more space and privacy. But you best to heat. But most importantly, your fur baby looks happy. The weekends are now our least favorite time. And we love the look at towns nearby and all the history. You must do a lot of research 👍 Love the story of Augusta - my kind of woman. Alice

[@GrandAdventure]

Thanks Alice! Glad that you enjoyed this one.

[@rickskidmore3075]

Absolutely loved this video. My wife (historian) and I love how you incorporate the history into your videos. Seeing Camp Hale was awesome and a future destination for us (retired military). Keep up the great videos.

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you Rick! Next week's video is really heavy on the military history, so I think you'll enjoy it too. We actually had a hard time cramming all the story in via narration on that one.

[@lorih379]

Adding Leadville to the short list. Colorado and wwii history? Can’t beat that.

[@GrandAdventure]

We're happy to add to that list, Lori!

[@peggyr.346]

As a child I watched a movie called “The Unsinkable Molly Brown” and have been obsessed with Molly Brown every since! Leadville was a town that was associated with her and I’ve always wanted to visit there. Thank you for sharing all the information you learned!

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you Peggy, and thanks for watching! Hope that we connected you further to Molly Brown.

[@MarkSpencerAZ]

Love your video's Marc! So different from many others, more about the places than the mechanisms we travel in. Thanks!

[@GrandAdventure]

Glad you like them Mark! Thank you so much.

[@tim_g3478]

My wife and I visited Camp Hale in 2016. Over in Vail, they have a nice historical display and pictures commemorating the Camp

[@GrandAdventure]

Yep. I've seen photos and read stories since I was a kid, Tim, so it was actually exciting to finally see and tour it in person.

[@campingalan]

Won't make it on the premiere, but I always here later !!

[@industrialexitstrategist2022]

I have been to Camp Hale many times. I lived in Colorado for 24 years. I use to organize and lead 30 to 40 jeep 4x4 tours per year for over 450 4x4 familes.

[@GrandAdventure]

Very cool, and a very cool area.

[@laughingram7287]

Hi Marc, My wife and I were thinking “that’s not a bad camping spot” at the beginning of your video, but at the end it was “run Forrest, run!” Way too crowded! Beautiful sky after the Dyrt ad. We’ll have to check out that trip planning feature in Dyrt. Looks good. Enjoyed your history, especially about the Tabors. Interesting about Camp Hale. Thanks for sharing! Ram 👍🏼👍🏽

[@GrandAdventure]

Thanks for watching as always, you two! That sky shot was the most impressive example of thunderstorm outflow I've ever witnessed.

[@williamwargo3066]

Interesting show. I wish you had finished the Tabor story, Baby Doe after Tabor lost all his money and property in Denver and passing away left Baby Doe with nothing and no where to go. So she moved back to Leadville and the only thing that she owned, the mine. She lived there for years as I recall and during the freezing winters would walk the couple of miles down into Leadville to get her daily bag of groceries, which as I recall could not pay for, but the person who owned the store gave her the bag of groceries so she could stay alive. And one day during the winter, he noticed that her bag of groceries were still there, past her normal coming and picking them up. But they said that maybe shes running late and will get them later. The next moring same thing. So they decided to go and check on her. They went up the the mine and opened the shack door and found her in bed. She was frozen stiff. She froze to death. I visited the shack she lived in and there was nothing on the walls, but newspaper to keep out the cold. No heat to keep warm and the little wood was used to cook her food. She was a very beautiful lady from the book that I bought. Too bad it ended this way.

[@GrandAdventure]

@@williamwargo3066 thanks for that! We never knew that tragic ending. A fascinating story, for sure.

[@daviscrt]

Your boondocking spot didn't look to bad, until the weekend can. WOW. I have a feeling it might be that way until school starts up again. Great information about the town. Thanks Don

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank YOU Don! For the most part it hasn't been that bad out in the 'docks, I think it was a combination of a) heat in Denver, b) the proximity of Denver, and c) Leadville's cool elevation. Another viewer who was camped for a couple of weeks a few miles away said during last night's Premiere that last week wasn't so bad once the rains came.

[@Stephcass]

Leadville has an awesome Antique Mall there!

[@GrandAdventure]

Great tip, good to know. Thanks!

[@rosemiller646]

I first learned about the 10th Mountain Division from a historical poster of them on the wall of a quaint upstairs pizzeria in Aspen, and I’ve been intrigued by them ever since. It was fascinating to learn what they did for the war effort and that, afterwards, they helped to establish the snow skiing industry. Thanks for the tour of Camp Hale, and it is definitely on my bucket list now.

[@GrandAdventure]

Cool story Rose, thanks for sharing that. As a ski addict my whole life, I remember reading about Camp Hale and the 10th Mountain veterans' contributions to the ski industry from when I was a kid. I've been fascinated by it ever since, so it was great to finally see the site of Camp Hale in person on this stop.

[@SevenBears1]

Went right back to top quality video and interest.

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you, our friend.

[@georgecarpenter4126]

Marc - another great informative video. Camp Hale was one of the most interesting finds we made on our trips to Colorado. A little know fact is that after it was closed, it was repurposed for a while in the '50s by the CIA ! I remember standing near the signs and trying to visualize just what that area was like during WWll. Stay safe and try to avoid the crowds...

[@GrandAdventure]

Very interesting George, we didn't know that. Thanks for sharing that tidbit!

[@sightslessseen7977]

Daddgum Marc, seems like you guys and us are always in the same places. My wife and I have been staying in Buena Vista for 2 weeks. Fished Torquise Lake a week ago. And we came here for the temps too! And to be honest, about a week or so ago, I thought I saw you at a store! Crazy. Lol

[@GrandAdventure]

LOL! Yep, we very well may have crossed paths for the timing is right. We were there 6/13-19.

[@JarheadAndGingersJourney]

Love the beauty and history!

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you! Love the comment. 😁

[@aaronchandler2380]

i really enjoy your videos! less than 2 years until i retire. this will be on my list. thank you!

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you very much, Aaron! That 2 years can't come quickly enough, we are sure.

[@patriciacooke886]

Camped in that same dispersed area last August. Beautiful place

[@GrandAdventure]

Hope that it was less crowded for you! 😄

[@lindaalaniz7129]

I've been there years. A nice place. Thank you.

[@GrandAdventure]

You're most welcome, Linda. Thank you for watching!

[@pmurphy12667]

great episode and can't wait to visit Leadville. What amazes me is the lack of common courtesy and respect from all those Rvers who just figured hell I will my rig next to yours. Very sad. Glad we got an OGT expedition 2.0 trailer to go on trails and get away from people like.

[@GrandAdventure]

Thanks Paul! Yep, the best way to get away from others is always to go deeper in. 😁

[@GimpyCamper]

I love the ghost towns. I really got to get more time out west.

[@GrandAdventure]

We spotted a really cool couple of them up here in Montana that we hope to explore in the next few weeks.

[@Tobelemke]

Hey Mark, just to let you know my wife and i enjoy your video's, we like the history of the area, and things to do. I keep a list of camping we want to go to, keep up the good work. Mark and PJ Chicago IL

[@GrandAdventure]

That is awesome, Mark & PJ! Thank you so much!

[@miketomas8564]

W O W !!!! What a Difference Before and After! Just WOW! I kinda wish you had shot that pan across your meadow the same as you did earlier and then did a split screen of them both... And this is why we remain at home during big holiday weekends. ESPECIALLY on the Fourth of July with all the dry forests and dumb people with fireworks.. PSA-BTW Fireworks are illegal in National forests in at least the west...

[@GrandAdventure]

Thanks Mike! Yeah, I was scratching my head regarding how to work in that historical photo of Camp Hale. The problem was that I shot Camp Hale first, then while editing later after we had already left Leadville I was trying to find historical photos in the public domain that I could use without violating copyright law. Of course, the only one I could find was from a different angle than anything I had shot myself.

[@miketomas8564]

@@GrandAdventure I was talking about your original pan or drone footage of your camping spot. My have the RV seeds grown!

[@GrandAdventure]

@@miketomas8564 oh...sorry, my misunderstanding. Yep, good point but a) it was breezy when we left, and b) we couldn't wait to get out of there.

[@JohnsDeb]

Great video! I’m not sure I could do 10,000 ft. elevation but I’d definitely would cherish cooler temps. Thanks for sharing :)

[@GrandAdventure]

Most people without underlying pulmonary issues aren't overly affected by the elevation, Debbie, especially when you approach that elevation gradually and therefore become acclimatized to it.

[@ExtremeRVing]

Holy smokes what an amazing sunset there! Great video, we've been baking in that triple digits and escaped in just the truck to "go up" for a weekend, but will have to wait a little longer before we can get away for good. Love the videos as always and can't wait to meet up on the road when we get done here in the Southwest!

[@GrandAdventure]

We very much look forward to seeing you out here!

[@yisimlampiris-tremba2247]

What another great place! I’ll have to go over there. Plus, a tad more quite.

[@GrandAdventure]

Glad you enjoyed, Yisim.

Thank YOU Marv!

[@mikejohnston4858]

Another great presentation. Didn't look like it was too busy in your boondocking spot. I sure wouldn't complain. We are at Sandpoint,ID and it is like 104 today at our campsite. Breckenridge used to be home. Wish we were there right now.

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you Mike! Our intention was to head northwest, but this heat wave is keeping us east of the Continental Divide where it's slightly cooler. 104 is brutal in an RV, stay cool!

[@hooahextreme]

Awesome video Marc. We have travelled all over Colorado but have not been around Leadville and Camp Hale. I need to get there. I retired from 10 MTN Division, now located at Ft Drum NY, in 2012. I need to tour my history.

[@GrandAdventure]

That's an excellent idea. And thank you for your service!

[@egarant57]

Really really enjoy you videos and narration, the pictures do emphasize how mining destroyed the natural beauty of the area and to this day pollutes the ground water all over Colorado. We humans are not very good caretakers of this lovely planet.

[@GrandAdventure]

We're not, Eric, but there's some consolation that most of these mines were sunk in a time when we didn't understand the lasting effects. Fortunately today remediation efforts are taking place. For example, the huge project that was undertaken in Leadville in the 90s to stop these mines from leaching contaminants into the Arkansas River.

[@egarant57]

@@GrandAdventure Very true, but we were very recently in Ouray where the Ouray hydro-dam opens it floodgates and annual sluice event, to release sediment down the Uncompahgre River that has built up in the dam sending a plum of orange down the river. Even with out that yearly plum the Uncompahgre River has Arsenic levels well beyond acceptable levels.

[@gina50gina]

Zoe sure seems to love being in the water! I enjoyed watching this again. And.. I received my Grand Adventure sticker!! When my van is finished, there will be a special place for it inside where I can see it. That meadow really did fill up quickly!

[@GrandAdventure]

Love ya Suzane, we're truly honored to have that sticker mounted. For Zoe it's all about retrieving, non-stop, anytime, all the time. Whether in a lake or a barren, sandy desert it doesn't matter, just give her something to retrieve over and over and over again, and she's happy.

[@paradicebus60]

very cool

[@garymann5998]

Very interesting history area, I liked the camp overlay in that picture, too bad you had to pick up camp early, that kind of sucks, well travel safe. Really liked the drone views too.

[@GrandAdventure]

Thanks as always Gary!

[@14carrotsxx80]

Great video as always. Thanks for sharing your experiences!

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you as always, Jorge!

[@lew419]

Another excellent episode. I really enjoyed learning more about Cape Hale and the brave soldiers who trained there. A couple of weeks ago, we too were trying to avoid the heat, so we higher in our local forest to 10,200 foot elevation a few miles NW of Dunton on the San Juan National Forest. There was no crowd in the clearing we chose off road 611, but there was a little natural pond nearby. The mosquitoes were annoying in the evenings and forced us to move on after a couple of days. Were mosquitoes a problem at your camp above Leadville?

[@GrandAdventure]

Thanks Lew! It's beautiful around Dunton. We had a few pesky little buggers right at dusk, but nothing to speak of before or after.

[@iker1644]

[@davidhillbrand2302]

Once again, you do a great job of giving us a snapshot of another area in our own back yard along with a history lesson. Unfortunately, the crowds you encountered are becoming all too common in the region - Colorado in particular. We have had similar experiences in the Moab area as well. Safe travels.

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you David, same to you! Yep, Moab and the greater Zion area are the two busiest spots in our home state. We find it much easier to escape the crowds in Moab, however.

Marc, what are your Tiki Torch things? Are they citronella torches? LED solar lights? Oh and I am afraid boon docking is going to be like that for a while..

[@GrandAdventure]

I fear you're right, at least in places like Leadville that are close to a large urban area with an outdoors mindset like Denver. Those torches are LED solar. We picked them up in Quartzsite and we love them, although they're available on Amazon for less than we paid: amzn.to/3hwffyG . FYI they're surprisingly bright, unlike most solar lights.

[@Alamotigergrad]

Marc, another great video. I enjoyed seeing Camp Hale and learning about the history. I understand you work from your rig and was wondering if you could start commenting on the cell signals/service you are getting from these remote boondocking areas. I too have worked some from my rig and am always nervous that a new destination may not have sufficient signals for me to work. Thanks for another great video!!

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you John! You can pretty much count on acceptable signal strength and throughput rates from any place we set up, at least until we're approved for Starlink, for we can't take a spot where we can't work. That generally means a minimum of around 3 Mbps both up and down, enough for VPN, video conferencing, etc.

[@raymondemigii4086]

Thanks for the video Marc , nice to know a little history of the area to see if would enjoy the area , getting ready to head out this month on some trips we're part-time for now, going to try out the dyrt app thanks Ray

[@DaveMissyDevilDog]

Superior video as always, Marc! You have helped my travels in many ways, my friend. Dyrt question: Does it provide routing based on rig height? Mine rounds up to 13' and it weighs on my mind continually while driving it.

[@GrandAdventure]

Thank you David! We're thrilled to know that the channel has helped in your own travels. Yes, one thing The Dyrt's trip routing has, is a place to input vehicle parameters when creating a trip -- not only height, but also vehicle length, fuel type and fuel economy.

[@tomleonard6177]

[@terrymoses7548]

Disappointed that you had to leave early. Many more places you could have boondocked without a crowd. Local RVers could have helped. You didn't even get to dip your kayak in a lake! Or, hike any of the trails. Sad. Lots more to see and do. Summer: Boom Days (Mining Skills Competition, International Leadville Pack Burro Race - second leg of the Triple Crown), Leadville Historic Fish Hatchery, Spectator Sports (Leadville Trail 100 Mountain Bike Race, Leadville Trail 100 Run), museums, train rides, mountain biking, hiking, climbing. Winter: Ski Joring, Leadville Loppet, skiing (alpine & nordic)/snow boarding, snowshoeing...yadda, yadda. So..come back!

[@GrandAdventure]

Oh we will, Terry! One downside of having to work from the RV Monday-Friday is that only leaves me the weekends, and evenings after work. By cutting out the weekend to move we lost much of our recreational time in Leadville.

[@KJRitch]

We will be in the Leadville area in late August, staying at White Star FS campground. Did you use the Leadville sanitation department public dump/water station? Was it very crowded or were you able to just pull up and dump. Thanks.

[@rebecahanrahan5556]

Hi! I’ve driven by that station a few times in the last few weeks. There are always 4-5 rigs in line…..even during the week. Just be prepared to wait :(.

[@GrandAdventure]

KJ, we did indeed use it -- when we arrived in Leadville to fill water, while we were in Leadville to get a water refill, then when we departed Leadville to dump. Upon arrival on a Saturday afternoon there were three or four of us there in the time it took me to wait, and then fill up. During the week we were alone on the refill, and again when we dumped although the latter may have been quiet as it was mid-day on a Saturday and most folks were out camping.

[@bobneilson929]

Mark we are fairly new to RVing (5years) and are planning a long trip touring the western states. We are wondering what do you do about fresh water when dispersed camping. Is it safe to put water from clean lakes in your fresh water tank (just for bathing and flushing) when dispersed camping?

[@GrandAdventure]

Welcome to the family. Bob. I understand your logic about only using it for bathing and flushing, but by putting that water in you've now potentially contaminated your tank with pathogens like giardia. We always fill up from a dump station that offers a potable water source, you can find those on sanidumps.com. If we need to add to it or refill it, we use this technique: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZC5naaMjNGXfZo

[@leecheever903]

I think my days at 10000 ft are long gone.

Mark how do you deal with the higher elevation, we go up here in AZ but the air is so thin...

[@GrandAdventure]

We're fairly used to it, Neil. For the past 16 years, immediately prior to going full-time we've lived at 5,000 feet and recreate several times per week at 11,000 feet. It's all a matter of acclimatization.

[@NeilChitel]

@@GrandAdventure Thanks, we go to the Rim country here and at 10,000 feet wife has a hard time, but you are right if we take it easy for a few days she will adapt.

[@GrandAdventure]

@@NeilChitel definitely some people are more sensitive to altitude than others, and therefore require more acclimatization. Just beware the signs of pulmonary edema, that "rice krispie sound" in the lungs. If that happens it's essential to evacuate to lower elevation immediately, as pulmonary edema can be fatal. Sorry, that's just my old ski patroller training kicking in.

[@DrJohn493]

Totally enjoyable video Marc from start to finish, especially the tribute to Camp Hale's history and it's significance to the WWII effort. Lot's of familiar scenery in this one. Spent a week in 2019 on a volunteer crew with the Colorado Trail Foundation building a new foot/horse bridge on the Colorado trail across a creek up Eagle Road. Shameless plug alert! Posted a video of the bridge construction on my channel if you have the time. A like and a comment would be welcome if you do 😉. Looking forward to your next stop!

Very cool that you did that, John, and like and comment left after watching the vid. Glad that you enjoyed traveling back to Camp Hale with us! We actually spent a day while we were in Creede with a veteran through-hiker (Brady Allen, warriorexpeditions.org/expeditions/warrior-hike/continental-divide-trail) doing the full Continental Divide trail from Mexico to Canada, and I'm sure that he appreciated your efforts on the Colorado segment.
