Grand Junction

The next day was perfect for walking the length of Main St (both sides) and viewing the "Art On The Corner" 
There were several buffalo. 
One quite large. 
I suspect several Harleys donated primary covers to this project. 
The reflections were interesting. 


Then there was T Rex on a bicycle. 
Many fountains and kenitic art. 
The next day it was back on the road and Spencer finally got to see the car tent set up. 

He wanted to spend the night in the driveway but, of course, the powers that be vetoed that.  

Tomorrow Rog & I hit the road again. Looks like the first stop is the Big Horn River in Montana. After that we follow the fish!

Stay whatever you need. Good luck.

Rocky Mountain High

Went to Grand Junction with Amy, Derek & kids. 
Refueled at the Eagle Costco
I remembered why I love the Rockies. You can drive to some of the best scenery and there are relatively few bugs. A perfect combination. We spent the first day sightseeing on the Grand Mesa. 
The fall colors are in their first week of prime time. 
I talked Amy into a reinactment of a family portrait we did in the 80's. We had to make do with far less child participation that we had received from Amy and Ryan back in the 80's. 
The Mesa was indeed, Grand. 
Molly found a chipmunk willing to feed from her hand. 

It was, indeed, a grand day and the weather was perfect.
