Colorado

Fall Colors
We stayed in Montrose, CO last night and left early today and drove across the Rockies and crossed over the Great Divide. The fall foliage was outstanding...



Then we crossed over Monarch Pass, over 11,000 feet high and captured this stunning view.  We are at Lake Pueblo State Park and are really enjoying it.  We plan to spend a couple of days here.  Maggie is loving the Prairie Dogs that are all over the place.  She whines and wiggles at the door begging to be let out to chase them.

Highway 50

Highway 50
The Loneliest Highway
We are finally through Nevada and now we are camping out at Antelope RV Park in Delta, UT.  We had to refill with water so we stopped early to do some laundry in my terrific handy, dandy laundry room.  LOVE IT! This is what we watched most of today.


Toy Truck at Pinto Summit






We stopped at Pinto Summit to walk and water the dogs and found this sitting on a rock, an old toy truck.

Shoe Tree

Today is our second day of travel on our trip to see the states.  We made it to Lake Almanor last night. Tonight we are staying a very nice (free) BLM campground on the Loneliest Highway 50 halfway between Reno and Ely.  We passed an odd sight today called the Shoe Tree .  We had to turn around and get a picture. Those dangling things that look like moss hanging off the tree are hundreds of pairs of shoes tied together and twisted together hanging off the tree.  Tomorrow is an early start and hope to hit Utah.
