Oct 20 Limon CO to Grand Junction, CO

339 miles. We are pushing for home so doing more than 300 miles everyday that we can.The foliage is yellow.  Not a favorite color of mine but here, it is gorgeous with the browns.  In Aurora,we began to see the Rockies.  Denver is at 5200'; gold mines at 8200'; coffee in Georgetown, 9600'  Denver traffic was a little slow but moving all the time. At 11,000', we began a 7% grade down.

I was hoping to visit a place called "Footloose" in Grand Junction.  In 1989, I saw this company at a holiday gift show in  the Kingdome.  They create hand made shoes and boots by wrapping your foot in duct tape over a sock to make a pattern and from that, they create a boot with a custom fit.  It's hard for me to get shoes that fit so I was excited to find Footloose.  I am now on my second pair.  I was hoping to  talk to the owner but it was a Saturday and they were closed.

We were looking for vehicles with deer but didn't see any.

A check point for logging in the deer hunt
