Back in Colorado

We left Utah and the Salt Lake City area and took a couple of days to drive down to Denver.  Our last supper in Utah was at a very unique restaurant.  We ate in a covered wagon and the steaks were some of the best we have ever tasted.  It was recommended to us from Don, the deputy camp host at Hill AFB...he  told us that this is his favorite restaurant, we decided to trust him after he told us that he would eat a 32 ounce steak and all the trimmings and than finish his wife's steak.  He must have weighed in about 130 pounds and had a wonderful sense of humor.  He is the epitome of the people we meet "on the road"

Our trip back to Colorado included a side trip to Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area, on the boarder of Wyoming and Utah.  What a beautiful area, the canyon, the river, the weather, everything was awesome!  What a great backyard to admire and enjoy!

Those are two speed boats on the Green River, 1500 feet down!

That's George with his Ohio State t-shirt on the safe side of the fence!

We see so many different mountain formations and all of them are breathtaking!  This in the Yampa Valley near Steamboat Springs, Colorado

We came back to Denver for what we hope is George's last two chemo treatments.  He will do his treatments on Tuesday and Wednesday and after that we will take off for Mesa Verde and to see our friends from south Florida and our favorite camp hosts at Curicanti National Recreation Area Blue and our own personal astronomer.  We have been so fortunate to meet some of the best people in America on our travels.  It is friends like you and our all of new friends that allow us to enjoy our travels and make our lives so much richer...thank you all!

Take care and enjoy life!!
