Brush City Park, Brush, CO - Sept 22-23
Brush feels like another "wagon train broke down" kind of place. The town slogan is "Don't give Brush the brush-off" and the name lends itself to amusing business names, like Brush Hair Salon and Brush Dental. We also enjoyed the name of a local nursing home - "Eben-Ezer" ("Could I have some water?" "Bah, humbug.") - but it was one of the nation's first, established in 1903. Home to many descendants of Danish and German immigrants, Brush was having a big Oktoberfest celebration when we arrived, but we unfortunately just missed out on it by the time we got settled in and walked to town. It was over at 5 pm!! Brush is very RV friendly -- the city park has electric and water hookups, and the first night is free ($10 for following nights, but few stay more than one night). Sightseeing is somewhat limited -- we checked out the campground at nearby Ft Morgan, also a nice, free city park but with only 20 amp hookups -- insufficient for running our a/c.# posted by Doug and Willie @ 4:09 PM
