Leadville Colorado | Living In A Truck Camper

[@eileenmoore7725]

Good morning! Beautiful scenery. Always remember to protect your heart. Be safe.

[@shovelhead8]

Never saw those medallions before. Fishing would be out for me as well. Thank you for taking us along. Stay safe and stay cool

[@JamieMakin]

That's a nice campsite and a cool little town. Looks like people can take rides on that train? I would've had to ride it for sure, lol! I had to laugh at Sami Jo's expression when she was in the truck. It reminds me of the way my cats treat me half the time! 😹 Safe travels to your next destination. 🙂

[@FrugalRVGal]

I did ride the train, thought of you! Video coming!

[@JamieMakin]

@@FrugalRVGal lol thanks! I'll be looking forward to that video! 🚂😀

[@alaska-bornfloridaman]

I really miss camping and exploring in that area: Cottonwood lake, Taylor reservoir, Breckenridge... But I have my new truck camper all hooked up with solar, and ready to return for a visit. 70° with a breeze sounds like Heaven right now.

[@BettyA]

It is sooo beautiful. Dang... $7 for one fish - not even enough for one person, let alone a couple. Unbelievable.

[@exploringtejas2357]

It was cool to see San Angelo state park on your medallion. I'm watching your video from San Angelo Texas. My hometown. Safe travels!

[@FrugalRVGal]

Very cool! I have camped in San Angelo a bunch!

[@tracyphillips3325]

Leah and I spent a Fourth of July in Leadville. It was magnificent. Then went on the train ride. Safe travels.

[@DRGreen-ps7eh]

Hell, I'd buy the fish, also. Colorado is mighty proud of their streams & fish....

[@FrugalRVGal]

They are! I guess I can wait until I am back in Texas!

[@strongsadventures]

That is a really cool little town. Oh and a train how neat.You are gonna need a bigger stick. Hahaha Sammie was not impressed being on camera. Wow that would be a really expensive fish. Stay safe out there.

[@lessonsfromlilah]

What a cool walking stick. I've never seen those "pins" before. That's awesome! Beautiful scenery. You and Dan are finding some great places!

[@FrugalRVGal]

We have found some beautiful campsites!

[@texaslonestarrider]

Beautiful camp area with an Awesome view! I was thinking that maybe you should 3M tape all the new medallions. Stay Safe My Friend!

[@cathygriffith746]

HOPE YOU CHECK OUT ASPEN....VAIL...BUTTER MILK MOUNTAIN. WE WOULD GO 2 TIMES A YEAR. WE WOULD GO WHITE WATER RAFTING AND HORSE BACK RIDING IN THE MOUNTAINS. SWAMP HUGS FROM LOUISIANA.

[@janicepeck4828]

Nice walking stick. Well the costs of fishing I'd sit and watch the fish jumping out of the water! Iv camped this cg I didnt want to leave. Enjoy.

[@tracykozil5029]

They have dog steps to get in and out, my dog loves them since he has hip problems and a torn ligament in knee. Sammy would love it, cheaper then $5,000 for knee surgery. Love your channel.

[@roxanneharding9767]

I didnt know you could buy those walking stick medallions. Great idea..... sammie is adorable.

[@FrugalRVGal]

They are fun to collect. If they don't have them, I buy a patch or a sticker!

[@LostOnLandAgain]

Looks like you're gonna need a bigger stick LOL Cool that you were on the Colorado trail! Jesse hiked that once. I think it was about 500 miles. Holy cow on the cost to fish in Colorado! They should jump in your net for that price. I really liked this video! Well done!!

[@FrugalRVGal]

Cool, that Jesse hiked that trail! I need to look up the specifics on that trail!

[@AmericaBound]

I love that spot and a beautiful town..👍👍👍

[@janetjacoby4154]

Howdy! Give Sammy a hug for me! See ya down the road😁🚐🚎💗

[@FrugalRVGal]

She is missing your hugs!!!

[@debrabrown7841]

🤔I wonder how it’s 71 degrees there and a lot closer to the heat source (sun) and 115 here?? It is so beautiful. Life is good!!

[@nancycarter2952]

We visited Twin Lakes last year and LOVED it! We got a spot right on the lake, it wasn’t too crowded...I believe it was late summer/early fall. We are currently in Colorado Springs. 😁

[@FrugalRVGal]

It is a beautiful place!!

[@donnaocasio45]

Wow , didn’t realize the fishing situation was a situation. Stuff we need to know before we go , finding out about little things like this before I sell my home and get my rig is very important stuff. Still beautiful scenery though , just go buy fish if you want it on the menu, cheaper if ya just rolling through.

[@azmark1956]

That's really cool the walking stick. I was just thinking the other day finding a good hard wood stick to carve. My favorite is mesquite, but I think it's more a soft wood

[@bsoutdooradventures9541]

Dang that some hard wood on that beautiful walking stick!! Nice town!! Everybody went to Colorado, now to Idaho! How do you mark your campsite occupied when you leave to go into town! Expensive fishing licenses! Have fun! Peachy B 🍑👍

[@phillipmorris1334]

howdy from the rainy ozarks frugal!! being on top of colorado is fun and glad you are having fun like the danvan!! tight lines and cheers!

[@kccarrtheoregonhillbillyhi4803]

Nice camp spot...

[@ourv9603]

GAL, Experienced rvers have learned to arrive at their campgrounds on Sunday afternoon. Most of the young weekend campers will have packed up & headed back home as they need to be at work Mondae. That leaves a mostly empty campground for you to take your pick of sites. !

[@FrugalRVGal]

Exactly!

[@patriciaredick9849]

Beautiful area. Safe travels.

[@pupcamper58]

I think Sami Jo and Clover are cut from the same mold when it comes to those looks, LMAO 😂 I think Leadville needs to be on my bucket list, looks so beautiful! Stay safe 🤗🐾❤️

[@FrugalRVGal]

It is beautiful here. Will probably be here next year too!!! Love it here!!!

[@user-yp7im1su9s]

Greetings, hey no price is to great for fishing and eating fresh fish. Then you just add lures to your tackle box. Be safe pretty area thank you

[@mworator]

Beautiful campsites!

[@authordebradickinson]

This is the first summer in 6 summers (wow!) I haven’t camped in the Leadville area. Thanks for sharing Frugal! I gave up on walking stick medallions for the same reason - gave up on the hard wood. Tried all kinds of adhesive. That didn’t work either. Lol...Sami ignoring you. Can you fish at CO state parks like we can in TX? KOKO!

[@FrugalRVGal]

Good question, not sure about the Colorado State park fishing! I will need to look that up!

[@sanborns]

The next time in the area I highly reccomend Mount Elbert summit. The veiws are incredible on top. Thanks for the tour!

[@authordebradickinson]

True Sanborb S! It is awesome! Frugal, you would love it. For awhile I had a thing about visiting the highest summits in each state. For CO, that is Mount Elbert. My other fav is Mt Whitney in Ca. KOKO!

[@FrugalRVGal]

Pretty close to the trailhead!

[@doingitwithnothing]

Good views

[@Zeldagirl64]

Love Leadville so interesting history wise! My home State 🤩

[@FrugalRVGal]

I love it here too!

[@johnysjourneys9450]

Beautiful locations!!!

[@DirtyShoesAdventures]

best make sure that is a BIG fish,,,especially for the pricing. NM was quiet a bit cheaper. But I guess if you are going to fish a lot in those 5 days, might be worth it. Sure beats getting a ticket.

[@jonisjourneys3684]

I’ll have to go to Leadville, it looks like a really nice place😊

[@TheDanVan]

Man you have a lot of hiking pole tokens. YES store bought fish seems more economical, lol. I like Leadville Colorado.

[@FrugalRVGal]

I will fish when I go back to Texas!!!

[@CDubsJourney]

😂 Sami cracks me up! Beautiful area you are in. Safe travels when you roam and happy camping. Town was very cute. Kind of reminded me of Greenville, IN.

[@CarrieJo5916]

I like your walking stick! Wow, is the fish population so bad that your only allowed one fish or are there so many people fishing that your only allowed one and why no live bait? Just curious. Beautiful camp site! ✌💞

[@dennis78382]

Looks perfect!

[@FrugalRVGal]

Pretty perfect!!

[@la.boricua800]

I been to Colorado Springs on flights, from New Jersey, I love the unpredictable weather👍

[@pamflowers8364]

Sammi Jo likes showing her profile like a real film star.

[@randywallingsford3245]

You might try some of that JB weld for wood on your stickers,It might work good.

[@FrugalRVGal]

Good idea, thanks!

[@DispersedCamperMan]

Another nice spot you are camping at. I love the view there and the well spaced out spots! I only fish in Arkansas, I know the laws and it only costs me $10.50 a year for a fishing license. LOL I probably will never fish in another state, like you said, license is way to high for out of state folks and I would not want to get caught breaking a fishing law not being aware of the law I was breaking in the first place. LOL It would probably be a very high fine. Great Spot!

[@jamesbonner5989]

May visit Leadville next month, still undecided. Also the store where people are crazy for Melanzana Hoodies..Little too expensive to keep one fish.

[@FrugalRVGal]

I really like it here in Leadville!!

[@mworator]

You use salmon eggs for trout.

[@catdaddy2899]

Great view 😉👌 thanks for sharing... Safe travels..

[@mikewarner2285]

The perfect camp site

[@arkansastraveler7698]

A finishing nail works for predrilling.

[@FrugalRVGal]

Yes, that would work too!

[@redheadedlassie1]

Oh I'm jealous!!! I love that place!

[@EatSleepRVRepeat]

Why the a one fish limit? That's no fun. Lou & Angie

[@FrugalRVGal]

Not sure why!

[@RVRebelGirl]

👍🐾🐾🤗

[@sued115]

Did you buy your truck camper new or used?

[@FrugalRVGal]

I bought it used in 2015. It is a 2007!

[@MadnomadM]

71F ?! I’ve been in the wrong places lol. Finally got my camper but have been running around dropping off stuff for storage, trying to get residency and thus far 2 trips to the Denver camper dlr and have to go back some time for another issue. Sami was too funny. What route did you take to twin lakes? Was it tough driving?

[@FrugalRVGal]

Not hard driving at all! I came from Pagosa Springs.

[@MadnomadM]

@@FrugalRVGal I'd be coming from the Denver area. Hmm

[@MadnomadM]

@@FrugalRVGal emailed you 😊

[@alphpup3281]

How do you preserve your spot when you go into town?

[@FrugalRVGal]

I leave my chairs, table and cook stove. I haven't had any problems.

[@scampofscamps8080]

If you have a federal passport for NPS, NFS, BLM, etc all you need to do is display your pass and you don't have to pay fees for day use. The Colorado yearly is the best deal, its almost 100 bucks, but its good for a year. As for lures, rainbow trout rooster tail 1/4 ounce, silver 1/4 ounce kastmaster are really good, very seldom use anything else when spin tackle fishing, use line no heavier than 5 pounds... your not bass fishing in Texas. Wooly Boogers in olive and black are okay in size 18 to 20, irresistible Adam's in size 18, San Jaun Worm #18, if you are not using a fly rod, get a water bubble and a 2 or 3 pound line for tippet. You are close to great lake fishing at Turquoise Lake next to May Queen Camp Ground, between Twin Lakes and Leadville are some little ponds along the Arkansas River, open to public and stocked with trout.

[@FrugalRVGal]

Thanks for the info!!!

[@pbetik]

You're in Leadville and don't go play in a casino? What's up with dat?! A pack of smokes and a few beers will clear that altitude sickness right up. Also, I think you are limited to 1/2 stick of dynamite when fishing in Colorado. You only need a license if you get caught. ;-)

[@FrugalRVGal]

Sure don't want to break any laws and pay any fees! I will fish another time!

[@onrycodger]

Two words: Gorilla glue 😊

[@rvlivingwiththegeezer7791]

Leadville is highest town in Colorado. Acclimate your body, lots of H2O😄

[@FrugalRVGal]

Yes, need oxygen!!!
