So Many States, So Much to See

Before I go on, I would just like to say Thank You to all of you who are following the blog and for the lovely comments. I reply to the comments but don’t know if you are notified of that, so thank you again for traveling with us.

We have now traveled through 7 states on this adventure – Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah. A lot of miles and a lot of territory that Traci covers 3 times a year – Wow!

Okay, lets get moving. We have promises to keep and miles to go before we sleep.

From Farmington, New Mexico, we trekked back to Colorado. What a beautiful state – wild and rugged.

This journey took us high into the mountains along very narrow roads with hairpin turns, sheer cliffs, and no barriers – yikes!

When I say “high into the mountains,” I’m not kidding. About midday we reached Molas Pass – elevation 10910 ft.

Elevation 10910 feet - No wonder it's so hard to breath. — Elevation 10910 feet – No wonder it’s so hard to breath.

Walking the short way to the summit was breathtaking - literally - but the view was absolutely worth it! — Walking the short way to the summit was breathtaking – literally – but the view was absolutely worth it!

Occasionally we came across little towns nestled in the valleys.

We stopped for a bite to eat at Maddie & Maud’s – the best hamburger I’ve ever had!

Spring melt - pretty little waterfalls all along the way. — Spring melt – pretty little waterfalls all along the way.

Several hours, miles and mountains later, we arrived at our final destination for the day – Grand Junction, CO. What a pretty, quite town.

Goodnight for now and sweet dreams. Tomorrow, Utah and Nevada.

Funny. Iâm glad that you are enjoying the blog posts. I love doing them even though Tom gets a little tired of my picture taking. He has commented several times that I should go to work for Google Earth. LOL

Wow! More breathtaking photos!! I was in Colorado once when my sister lived there so I can relate to your feelings about those hair pin curves and going up those mountains with no guardrails. We had gone up About 11,000 feet and I was also short of breath. I would love to go back one day! Thanks once again for sharing in your journey and so happy that you are having a good time! Love to all of you!
