We were
starting our trip early in the morning at Glenwood Spring with a surprisingly
nice breakfast at our Motel. Even Ole was pleased to get so much food:
Later we
were driving on I70 towards Grand Junctions. Unfortunately the tire pressure
sign was on and we had to check the tires. The rear tires were a big problem as
we could not open the cap, but like so many times in the US a friendly showed
up and helped us. More than 2 psi were missing and we were close to add another
destroyed tire to this highway.
Later we
drove to the Sego Canyon to watch
the ancient stone paintings. It was not easy to find, but we made it and nobody
was there, so we could enjoy the landscape for us alone. Sego Canyon rock art
is noted for its pictographs; some of them are larger than life size and were
painted over a period of three thousand years.
Despite the incoming clouds,
Frank really wanted to see Arches NP,
which we visited several years ago. So we did a little detour and visited the
National Park for a quick visit. We could not see much, but we got at least an
impression:
This is
definitively a NP, where you need time to explore in the morning/evening all
the different fantastic spots! In the afternoon we continued our travel on the
I70 and HWY89 to Tropic, where we
arrived very late. We staid at the Bulberry Inn, where we felt immediately at home, thanks to the owners and
the nice home, they created! We really recommend this B&B!!!
Overall we
drove this day 495 miles, mostly in rainstorms and thunderstorms…
