Trippin'

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Because we are on another road trip. Our trip started out in Roy, UT. We headed South hoping to get to Salida, CO. Leaving early is a must so we can make our destination with time to eat.

Our first pit stop was in Price, UT. We hooked up with Quinten and Toby and enjoyed breakfast "Gramps Style". After our visit and a few laughs we hit the road for the most dreaded part of Utah. Highway 6 between Wellington and Green River. Ok technically, Green River is on I-70 but its far away. About 60 miles that feels like FOR EVER. As we pull into the gas station, Gramps volunteered to pump the gas. After a few failed temps to run the card machine, I got out to help him. He kept getting a declined/expired message. He couldn't understand how that could be until we looked at the front of his card. It expired in 2008. We fixed the card issue, got gas and hurried on to eat lunch.

Lunch break was in Grand Junction, CO. We stopped at Olive Garden: Easy access, good food and at least a two hour break:)

After lunch we headed south. Once we navigated our way through Montose we stopped at the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. It was amazing and breath taking. We stood on one fin that went clear across the canyon and we took pictures of the other side of it. After a short walk around we headed down to the bottom of the river. After our short jaunt we decided to make way to Salida, CO. This is where we stayed. Prior to reaching our destination we passed Blue Mesa Lake & Monarch Pass. I will return to Blue Mesa Lake one day to camp and boat. It was beautiful.

More of the trip to follow.
Dad; Here it is sorry it took a few days:)
