Going away party @Raven's with my best friends

Arches National Park

Canyonlands

Vail

9-16 (Thurs)

We left Yellowstone Sat (9-11) Didn't get out of the park until noon. Spent the first night in Ogden, UT, the next two nights in Moab, UT. We went to Arches National Park twice and also Canyonlands. It was really hot but we still managed to do several hikes. In Grand Junction, CO I got a speeding ticket ($170) for going 40 something in a construction zone. Bummer. Tues. night was Glenwood, CO (wonderful.) This was about 40 miles from Aspen. Wed. we stopped in Vail and shopped. Wed night in Great Lake, CO. We are averaging about 250 miles per day but we aren't in any hurry. We went to Rocky Mt. National Park this morning. It was so cold and the wind was blowing so hard we could hardly open the car door to get out. We drove on to Estes Park for lunch, shopping and just looking around. Tonight we are near the Kansas border but still in CO. Tomorrow we will drive to Selina, KS and then go south to I-40 which we will take across the US.
