Day 21 - Back in CO


The 3 fishing neighbors we had met yesterday evening were out early on the lake and caught several of the Kocolene Salmon.  Ray, the young boy, came over and gave me 2 filets of the Salmon.  I immediately grilled it for breakfast.  It was wonderful!  I tried to get Kevin to take a bite of it, but he wouldn’t have anything to do with it.

On to our next destination.  We left Fishlake heading Northeast.  We did Interstate 70 to see how this truck would handle the  camper, that would dictate how much time we needed to get home (whether or not we could do Interstates).  Truck did great!  I drove a little, but the speed limit of 80 MPH intimidated me and I gave the wheel back to Kevin after only 50 miles driving.  I’m sure I will start to feel more comfortable, but, baby steps in the meantime.

We weren’t sure where we were going, and all the places that we wanted to try to camp were full.  I finally found an RV Park that had vacancies.  We rolled into Delta right at 5 pm and checked in.  Full hookups, and a very nice couple that owned the place made us feel right at home. 

Kevin has found a place that look wonderful to camp at, but they don’t have openings until Sunday.  Our hopes are that we can stay here until then.  The husband of the owner team has a book of good motorcycle rides we can do.  That should occupy us until Sunday.

I took Nikki to the dog park they have here and she met a very large handsome boy.  He wanted to play but she was intimated and snapped at him.  We left the dog park.

Back at the camper to type of my blog for the day.  I took several photos of the Utah landscape while on Interstate 70.  It really is beautiful but oh so barren.  I commend the people that live here.

Photos are from my point and shoot camera while traveling 75 mph.

Day 15 - Miles of Adventures

Today started out with an outing on back dirt roads to see the Mexican Hat up close and personal.   We were hoping to be able to ride down to the San Juan River, but the descent was very steep with loose sand.   We did get to the back side of the Mexican Hat though. After that on to the Valley of the Gods!   WONDERFUL RIDE!!!   The road through the valley was as perfect as we could ask for for a dirt/sand road.   There was one time when my back wheel got a little squirrely on me in deep sand.   I was to blame because I was riding in Ray Charles mode (swinging head left and right to catch all the sights) and didn’t pay attention to my immediate surroundings.    It was very deep sand!   But I made it and Kevin following made it through with no problems.   Valley of the Gods is beyond words to describe!   I’m so disappointed that my “go pro” camera was not rolling as we drove through the valley.   I thought I’d turned it...

Day 16: Starry Starry Night - Kevin

Day started off at 5am on a trip back to Cortez to have a bed cover installed on the truck. Got back at noon and goofed off for a while and took a nap, Got up before sunset for a photo shoot in the Valley of the Gods. Amazing Milkyway, shot until around midnight until someone came down the road with a flashlight and cut through the desert scrub to get to faster. We loaded up and left before they reached us. I never saw them but it scared Stephanie pretty good. I had a 9mm on my hip and a 380 in my pocket and Steph had a death grip on her 38 for miles down the road. Aside from the spooky person it was a blast. I did randomly scan the area with my flashlight looking for eyeballs, there is a photograph on the office wall of this campground of a big mountain lion in the Valley of the Gods.

Day 11 - Moving to Silverton

We packed up and moved to Silverton, CO this morning.  The air system Kevin put on the truck seems to have done the trick!  We did get into some heavy winds but we were not blown around this time.  We actually have internet service at this place!  We took a little motorcycle ride up into the mountains - 20 miles on gravel, dirt, and some large rough rocks.  The large rocks were just a bit too tough for us to tackle so we turned around and came back to camp, ate a quick bite, got Nikki and our cameras in the truck and returned to the same mountain area in search of an old mine, bears, moose, and whatever wildlife we could see.  Saying it was a rough ride does not give the ride up the mountain road justice.  It was tooth jarring!  But we made it to the mine.  Nikki enjoyed the adventure. Here are views from our campsite: Here is the road ending in multiple lakes and beautiful scenery!  Along with photos of a...
