Good-bye Texas...Hello Colorado






We are here in Grand Junction, Colorado. Yesterday was a really long day and today too. We left Dallas yesterday about 12:45 and arrived in the awful town of Dalhart Texas at 9:00 P.M. We stayed at the best hotel in town...Holiday Inn Express and it was funky to say the least. It was clean but it left a bit to be desired. Neither one of us slept well and we were awake at 6:30 so we headed out. We were in the car 9 hours today and excuse me but our rears are tired of sitting. Grand Junction is a neat area, our hotel is right downtown so we were able to walk to dinner which was nice, the walk felt so good. Tomorrow we leave for Ely, Nevada another hot spot on our way home. Big news yesterday, we got pulled over by the sheriff's department...someone was speeding. The sheriff was a nice kid, reminded me of Jeff and of course, after Roger schmoozed ...is that a word...with the kid, we were off and running with no ticket!!!! One of us has been very careful since being sure to keep the speed at or under the limit!
The pictures are reversed but I can't figure out how to switch them. The sunset was in Texas last night, it was beautiful...the only beautiful thing near Dalhart!!! Colorado is absolutely gorgeous...so many trees, huge river, and so green.
Until next time :)
