September 29, 2010 – Our hotel was so nice that we opted for a late start to take advantage of the amenities J they had a nice pool but I skipped a swim to do a much needed load of laundry! Once again, we spent the day traveling through mountains, BUT, we also viewed the beautiful Colorado River! I can’t believe how nice it was to see water! We stopped to wade it in for a while. It’s so clear and clean and as cold as Lake Superior. I stood in it until my feet were numb (yes, those Freddie Flintstone feet that I posted a couple of days ago – that picture was for my friends so they could see my infamous Freddie feet enjoying vacation). It was killing Joe to see all of the fisherman lining the streams as we drove by, especially since he’s missing the end of brookie season. He’ll have to clean up on Salmon and Steelhead in October!! We were thinking of our downhill skiing friends as we travelled through Vail and the other ski resorts of Colorado. We drove 11 hours today and so far have put on over 6,000 miles on this trip.
We're bedded down in Salinas, Kansas, hoping to get an early start in the a.m.
