070710 Colorado

Monday July 9, 2007

Left Green River, Utah for Grand Junction, Colorado.

The highway departments must be working overtime putting up new signs, because now there is quite a bit of information to read about what to expect at the next exit. We usually look out for tourist spots, monuments, or museums.

today it is a dinosaur museum. We had the time, and knowing that these places are usually air conditioned, we had another incentive. It was fairly new, not to large, but very well displayed and enjoyable.
From Peter’s view I could see that look in his eye “so many bones, so little time”. He actually behaved quite well, and the children enjoyed petting him as much as he enjoyed being petted. I was very proud of him for not barking or even flinching when one of the animated creatures came to life and roared.

The temperature has not lessened much since we left Vegas, but there is a general Haze in the air from all the fires going on in Utah. It’s so bad that my photos aren’t as crisp or clear as they should be for this area.
We are stopping in Grand Junction, Colorado for a couple of days, and then high into the Rockies for a week.

Till next time
