On camping....if you plan to, I would
highly consider getting to route 14
tomorrow and finding a spot. While there are more than a handful of
state campgrounds within a dozen miles of Mishawaka, a good portion
of those will be reserved (as you can reserve spots for these
campgrounds online). Mishawaka also has a little "island" for roughing it
camping as well...or used to, as I do not know whether or not they
are allowing camping there this year.
And yes, parking can be a cluster***k, as that is Mishawaka's main
weakness: The lack of a parking lot that can hold a number of cars.
For further campground info, go to
http://mishawakaconcerts.comthen click on the Lodging link, where you will find listings for 11 campsites,
as well as cabin rental and hotel info (Fort Collins).
If my friend secures a campsite at Columbine Lodge tonight, I'll be there
effective tomorrow night.
One other important note: Cell phones
do not work in the Poudre
Canyon at all (the only phones that will work are satellite-based
phones). Be sure to make your plans before heading into
Poudre Canyon on route 14.
