After a very long drive, made longer by a vehicle that is not getting anywhere near the gas mileage it is supposed to, I think we stopped for gas every 2 hours, we arrived in Fruita CO.
It took 21 hours to get to Fruita, but I don't actually mind the drive, I enjoy the time to sit and talk to Shawn, read for hours to the kids, tell/listen to stories and if the kids fall asleep, read a little myself.....and you arrive in a new land, with endless riding and adventuring!
I was able to get in a quick ride when we arrived Saturday evening on the Kokopelli trails. It was a beautiful evening and I climbed up Mary's trail for a bit, and then back down and did Wrangler's trail....not feeling awesome after 2 days in the car, but feeling really good to be riding!
The wide open trails here are so different than at home, they bring you along the most gorgeous views high above the CO River.
Shawn went for a ride the next morning, while the kids and I explored the beautiful State Park, this is a beautiful campground on the CO River, with endless exploring, but the highlight of the day...and the trip so far (even for us) was the Dinosaur Journey Museum, where the kids could dig up bones, get sprayed by the Dilophosaurus, watch a moving Utahraptor eat another dinosaurs head (with real looking blood and gooey parts being strewn about!) and experience an earthquake!
The kids said the missed Aunty Erin, Uncle Keith and Hayden.....and we are really missing you too!!!
More to come.......
