| Goodybe to Boulder, Utah |
Today we shared the road with deer, black cows, and hunters. The cows roam freely crossing the freeway making it particularly challenging at night. At least the deer are fast. The hunters sit on the side of the rode looking through binoculars for bucks. We saw lots of does, but the absence of bucks seemed to say something about intelligence-and not about the hunters. Later in the morning we rode through the Capital Reef National Park. Quite beautiful.
If you were to ask my sons what one of my pet peeves was when they were young, they would most likely say litter bugs. In fact if I saw someone litter I would tell them that I was going to put my red light on top of the car, because I was part of the litter patrol. They would beg me not to and I would give in. Driving down the loneliest highway in Nevada I did notice a lot of litter. It did not really resonate until I noticed Utah is almost litter free. LlTTER FREE I could retire from the litter police if we moved there. Go Utah!

| The road between our motel and Ouray And Happy ME! |

| Ouray |
We had a little excitement about 20 miles from Ouray. The weather out here is very fickle. It is warm, cloudy, sunny, and rainy all at once. So when the skies were totally black and there were some pretty scary lightening bolts we decided to put our rain gear on. It is very romantic riding in the rain. Like driving to Tahoe in the snow, only wetter and not as white.

| Our room in Ouray- That's a real cowboy boot! |
Our room in Ouray is darling. And I mean that in a I am lying in bed looking at a cowboy boot filled with big fake roses hanging on the wall with a red lasso around it way. We have two king size beds and a deck that over looks the river. It is heaven.

The first turn off we saw as we entered Colorado was Travel Through Time. We have been doing that on this trip. We have revisited the past and made new memories. I have found my groove. The problem with finding your groove? Is finding your groove.

| Goodbye to Hot Springs Inn |
Tomorrow we will be back in Glenwood Springs. Two days of floating around in hot mineral water!

Okay, my friends - If I wait for something clever to say, you might be home before you hear from me....Let's just say: I could use a couple of days floating around in mineral water, so do a double soak for me....I'll be wearing green today (envy) as I slog off to work - ENJOY! ENJOY!! We miss you :) XXOO Nancy and Marc
ReplyDeleteThe mineral water sounds so wonderful and relaxing. This place is on my bucket list for sure. Right now busy loving my grand daughter, so it will have to wait.
