Oct 20-24 Grand Junction, CO to Ellensburg and Home

 339 miles, 315 miles, 395 miles, 391 miles and 132 miles

We are anxious to be  home so we are pushing forward.  We've been over the Rockies and over a 11,000' pass. Mountain formations are amazing.  Hit Denver around noon,  Slow going but moving.  Passed a cattle drive with cowboys on horseback stretching more than a mile.

Last night was in Ellensburg.  We went in town and had dinner at a Western themed restaurant we have been to before. Got back into listening to Bob Marley, the Maine comedian.

It was a great trip!


Along I 70, we passed at least 100 Union Pacific Railway engines.
A tiny house parked in the campground.  More and more of the KOAs had more permanent housing,

KOA animals

"Stinker" truck stop complete with skunk.

Huge hay barns in Eastern WA.  Heart rock given to me from Hunter for good luck on our trip.

The Maine trees made it. Will they be alive next spring?

Looks like the sun wore out my trailer wheel.
Home at last!  The bushes need pruning!
