Salina Summit
I-70 on the San Rafael Swell. 7,923 feet
We continue our dry dusty winding trail picking up Route 50, a major highway crossing the lower midsection of CO that drops us on the grand mesa of the Western Slope. We pass through Pueblo and Grand Junction. Most of the road is a two-lane black-top while the stretch between Grand Jnc and Montrose increased to four lanes in 2005. It is a familiar road.
On the radio, Utah, 70E: “Baling twine sale: We will match or beat any of our competitors”
Madeleine: “Can’t we just have a nice relaxing ride, with no biking or hiking ?"
Me: “No way, that’s not the way this family rolls .”
Sonnet: “Maybe we will stop at Green River and go for a bike ride.”
Madeleine: “Good, God, no.”
