Epic (for us) two week adventure

[JamieGeek]

Well we're back from our whirlwind trip to Colorado and Utah.

Short list of adversity: Air cleaner popped open causing check engine light and engine surging--fixed that (could have been worse), our Jensen gave up the ghost (this was a slightly better Jensen than the one that came with the coach..kind of surprised it lasted that long), a mama mouse decided to have her babies in the armrest of our couch (managed to corral the family and evict them--no other evidence in coach of other interlopers), immediately after that got swarmed by bees...oh well (didn't get stung).

Oh and I-70 over the mountains in Colorado is a pain (and that isn't counting the mudslides--we managed to get through in between them).

Got over 1400 pictures of which I will now post them all!--just kidding.

Some highlights:



The two lines noted by my hiking pole denote the KT boundary (which isn't called the KT boundary anymore LOL). The top of the bottom white line is where the layer of iridium left by the meteroite that hit in Mexico and killed the dinosaurs is. So above that line people (sort of) and below that line dinosaurs (sort of). Trinidad Lake State Park in Colorado is the best place on Earth to see this.




Need to post this one in the Sunset topic!

But wait there is more (only a few)








Dead Horse Point State Park is awesome. When we were there you could stand at the campsite and watch all the storms in the distance.

Nice looking photos. Glad you were able to work out those minor issues.

#2 reminds me of the back drop when Forrest was running!

That is the Forrest Gump point--its where he stopped running in the movie (which is why there is a bunch of people taking photos).

We make a similar trip each year, not always to Moab, but over the Rockies

Always plan on something on I70 across the mountains and never disappoints

Dead Horse is worth a side trip for anyin the area

Glad you had s great trip
