The drive wasn't too bad except that it was snowing pretty good over the pass. Not great weather but the roads were okay so it wasn't a huge problem. Driving in snow over the mountains is just the sort of thing Colorado girls do right?
I haven't taken a road trip in a while. Usually when we drive to St. Louis, I sleep almost the whole time. I get in the car, or any moving vehicle, and immediately want to sleep. It's like a travel coma. But since I'm driving by myself I have to stay awake. I thought I would get bored but I haven't been bored yet. I am having a great time listening to books on tape and enjoying the scenery.
I did take some pictures. I am talented enough to take pictures and drive but I can't promise the quality of picture. I tried to get some good ones of the snow and mountains over the pass but they didn't come out very well. I would have liked to get some of the big horned sheep as they ran across the highway like squirrels but that was a time when I was trying to focus on driving so I didn't hit them. So instead I'll share some other ones.
I rolled into Grand Junction just as the sun was going down. My sister was good enough to book this hotel for me. It's not a great hotel but hey I'll only be here one night. Free internet and a tv movie. Can't complain. There is a City Market across the street so I will go over there to get some coffee and breakfast in the morning. I haven't had any fast food yet and I'm going to do my best to keep it that way.
Tomorrow is my birthday but I'll also be arriving in Kanab, UT. Exciting! I really have no idea what to expect but I know this is going to be a great experience and I'm grateful to get to do this.
Well I shouldn't stay up late since I have another 6-7 hours of driving tomorrow. Night all! Thanks for the well wishes as I set out on this adventure.
