We have finally made our Alaska vs no Alaska decision and will move SE from here on a slow route back to Crestview, FL and then on to Jacksonville. Apparently this just wasn't the right time or circumstances for a trip to the big A right now. We are both OK with the decision, in fact Bruce is already planning what project to tackle first when we get home, AFTER we unload this whole traveling ensemble.
We will be leaving Grand Junction early tomorrow morning. Last visits with family this afternoon as they will soon be off back to Breckenridge. Everyone enjoying the afternoon, Bruce & Larry communing over a beer in the garage, Janet taking a short nap after their(Janet & Larry) 35mi morning bike ride on the Monument Loop, Merrick visiting with a friend and I gave my poor, dry cracked feet a spa day and am wandering around in the red dirt in sock covered lotioned feet. Makes for an oriental picture opportunity.
Trip home begins with us driving EAST on I-70 to spend night tomorrow in Seibert, CO and then on to stay at a COE Park outside Junction City, KS. We intend to meander east by southeast over next 6 weeks staying in mostly new locations so will still be updating blog. Trip home will be more like we enjoy, leisurely stays in fewer locations.
This sojourn in Grand Junction, especially these last few days at my sister's, has been wonderful. We have eaten well, relaxed, played, toured the area, enjoyed the vistas from the monument and valued the time wth family. This trip has included probably my best visits with each of my sisters respectively. Well worth any route change!!
I leave you with one last picture from the Monument. Later...
