We ended up leaving Roosevelt after those two nights, but not before Joey determined I needed new tires for my car. (I sure am glad he thinks to check things like that.) While we waited for my tires Jewel spent her time in Dinosaur Country chasing Dinosaur Grasshoppers, and I got reacquainted with multi colored landscapes. Being in Hawaii all that time I forgot there were colors other than green and blue. 
We decided to head to our familiar stomping grounds of Colorado and made our first pit stop before even leaving Utah. Since we were in no hurry we walked around this desolate spot along the small highway for a bit and found all sorts of neat things. One being this huge cave on the other side of a large wash:
Then there was a partially decomposed Elk
And a not so lucky Raccoon’s tail
When we crossed from the prehistoric land of northeastern Utah into Colorado it was like the landscape changed immediately. Along this two lane mountain highway Joey pulled over because he knew I would just love this view. He was right. I loved it so much I ran across the highway to snap a few pictures, only on my way back I wasn’t paying attention at all until I heard him scream at me….RUN!!….. Instead, I froze, but luckily the truck swerved, coming within inches of almost hitting me. As if I wasn’t shook up enough over that, the rest of the drive down this mountain was littered with falling rocks, and not just rocks, but large boulders. Thank goodness we didn’t have any oncoming traffic during all the times we had to swerve to avoid the boulders.
Soon enough though we were down in familiar, beautiful, Grand Junction, CO. (I still have yet to climb that mountain!)
I just keep following my Man In His Truck toward one of our favorite places in Colorado, Parachute.
We have friends that are like family that live there, so we went to visit with them while we continue our hunt for the new RV.
