The previous day 62 post was catching up from a few days behind. Today's post - #2 - is basically about our trek from Grand Junction to Ft. Morgan yesterday Saturday, April 3.
The pictures kind of tell it all. We had to go over two mountain passes - one over10,000 feet and one over 11,000 feet - Vail Pass and Loveland Pass - to get from sunny Grand Junction to sunny Ft. Morgan. What a ride in between!
Before the pictures, we traveled closer to home today arriving in Lexington, Nebraska to spend the night at Johnson Lake State Recreation Area. We are one of only four RV'ers here, but it is on a very large lake and pretty nice to have it almost all to ourselves. And the sky was blue and temperature warm until sunset.
Ellen cooked a fantastic boneless leg of Lamb for Easter dinner. She's not too bad to travel with after all!
Here are pictures:
Jim at the wheel concentrating and contemplating the 2 major mountain passes ahead of us. I offered to take over if he was scared....NOT! and he said NFW!
You can see the scenery and the visibility change as we climb higher in "Blue Boy" and the tow car
And finally a few miscellaneous pictures from here at Johnson Lake
