Hello, From The Middle Of Nowhere!

Actually, we are somewhere now, Rock Springs, Wyoming. Earlier today we were definitely in a place that no man has gone before. We started out in Fort Morgan, CO, but you already knew that. We headed into Rocky Mountain National Park, which is one of the coolest places that I have ever been. The air is clean and refreshing and the vistas are absolutely incredible! If you have never been there you need to make plans to go. The Trail Ridge Road takes you up to over 12,000 feet, way above the tree line. If you are faint of heart you better do the driving because the drop offs from the passenger side are a little hair raising. We headed from Granby to Steamboat Springs, which used to be a quaint little town, but now is a tourist trap with condos, pricey bars and stores for people that have too much money. We decided to keep on truckin' through Craig and then out onto the dark side of the moon. The road from Craig, Co to Vernal, Utah shows no sign of anyone ever traveling it before. It is rather pretty, but desolate. From Vernal we turned north off of US 40 onto US 191. The scenery instantly changed to incredible again. It was about a 100 mile trip to Rock Springs. The main source of entertainment here is the Wal-Mart. Oh, there is a Dominos here, and our pizza just arrived.

Time to dine...talk to you in the morning!
