Grand Mesa, Colorado June 16

This is advertised as the biggest mesa.

It was such a great drive, green with numerous small lakes very different from the daily drives that we had been seeing with rocks showing everywhere.

This drive took us up to 11,500 and Virena’s lungs thought that was way too HIGH so be headed back down to 4500 where we were staying in Grand Junction.  On the way back we say deer one on the side of the road.

And these we say on the front yard of the house in Cedar Ridge, we watch these along with several neighborhood children.  And the deer seemed to be very comfortable with everyone around guess not hunting season yet.  How about the antlers still developing with the velvet still on them.

June 18 travel day to Denver CO

We pulled out of the campground and fueled up right off of the 70 then headed for Denver and it was a work day for the motorhome, we went from 4500 feet to 10,500 feet at the Eisenhower tunnel.  It did give me some stress but we did it without incident.  Just took our time.  Here are a few of the pictures Virena took while we were driving
