Flagler Reservoir State Wildlife Mgmt Area, Flagler, CO - Oct 11-12
We did not want to face the construction, traffic & mtn passes of I-25, so we figured out a route that heads east, then south before heading west towards AZ. With the help of some trusty "almost free" camping guides, we were able to find several CO Wildlife Mgmt Areas that have free camping in fairly remote places. Flagler was our first stop. The town of Flagler (pop ~500) is quite cute, with a nice park & attractive houses. It was the site of an air show accident in 1951 that killed 20 people. If anyone knows details of this, we would appreciate the info. The area does not have designated camp sites, but there are several places to pull off and have lovely views of the reservoir and the changing trees. We met a couple from Long Island who pulled in for thesecond night, who found the place in the same type of camping guide. # posted by Doug and Willie @ 10:58 AM
