Five years ago, my wife and I took our annual fall photo camping trip to the San Juans in Southwest Colorado. Since we had a pop-up we researched on line for a campground at a lower altitude so we could avoid freezing our water system. We camped at a former KOA in Delta Colorado, but did not know our site was literally within a 100ft of a train track. We also did not realize that the nearby coal mines in Somerset had 100 car trains going full and coming empty every 40 minutes. Silverware would literally jump around on the table when the trains went by. Did not get much sleep for sure, even with ear plugs. The upside was we were out really early everyday and got some great photos. So, crickets would not be too much of an issue for us!
