We headed on to Grand Junction from here to find a place for the night. We ended up driving down a two lane road outside of Grand Junction and up a beautiful canyon into the mountains again.

Our new good friends, Dennis and Tonda, suggested that we go to Colorado, via Flaming Gorge, Wayoming/Utah. They said we would love it. We drove down the West Side through Green River, as they recommended, and, although the views and terrain were unique, we couldn't figure out why they said to do this. Then, when we got to the Utah side and actually started climbing out of the gorge through ...

... was one deer that walked near our site each morning and evening. One portion of Flaming Gorge NRA is the Sheep Rock Geological Loop. I highly recommend everyone drive the loop.

So Krystian got to see some dinosaurs and choo choo trains, so it was a big day for him - and that is all that really matters. Tomorrow, off to Yellowstone for 2 days!

... pierre pour les générations futures (voir photos). Le circuit se terminait avec une résidence très rudimentaire où une dame avait décidé de passer sa vie en solitaire, loin de la civilisation. Pas d'électricité, pas d'eau courante et des voisins à plusieurs dizaines des milles, elle a réussi à vivre jusqu'à 90 ans. On est revenu dans notre monde moderne et on a mangé un petit steak de .................boeuf.

... time was very expensive and the express was used almost exclusively for commercial documents - the riders had many dangers including Indian attack. After leaving Fort Bridger we came across road works US-style where they just dig up the entire road. We had to wait for a flag car (i.e. one that you follow through the construction who helps you avoid being run over by an earth-mover the size of a small house) and got speaking to the flagman (who gets you to wait for the flag car - see it ...

... during the Civil War probably explains it. We stayed at another Oklahoma state park on a high mesa, also empty, and we were feeling our oats about this trailer thing. We left along a local road, well-graded but gravel, for about 40 miles. As we pulled into a one intersection town of Folsom, NM we realized we had a flat tire on the Airstream. Rookie panic! First we couldn't find the jack. A phone call back to Arkansas determined that it was under ...
