Boulder County Fairgrounds

Kerri needed to fly out of Denver for the weekend so back to Colorado we went. I got to hang out with my son for a few unscheduled days while camping at the local Fairgrounds in town. It is not the coolest place to camp, but it would keep me cool. The 30 Amp power would allow the A/C to run so the 90+ degree days would not kill me – or the dogs.

One of the risks (or benefits) of camping at the Fairgrounds is that once a year the Boulder County Fair rolls through. We just happened to be pulling in on the final weekend of the fair. This meant a nearly-full campground, but we squeezed into a site. Sure, the dump station would be our view for the week, but we have A/C.

On the final day of the Fair my son and I went to the truck and tractor pulls. Yes, a somewhat childish extreme sport from before time, but man is it fun to see these beasts to their thing. Only our second time going to an event like this, so it is somewhat special for us, even if just a little “Nebraska”.
