Trip 2003-04-13 Over breakfast (at a busy truck stop / local diner) I checked our maps and found we were close to Arches National Park. Since we knew we were no more than seven or eight hours from home, we decided to go there for a few hours. I took this shot while we walked on the Park Avenue trail. The rest of the day was relaxed compared to the previous day, with a late lunch at the Olive Garden in Grand Junction, Colorado. I felt as though we were home when we hit the intersection of I-70 with 470 near Denver, about an hour from where we live in Colorado Springs. Of course, the first thing we did when we got to my friend's house, after letting her dogs out, was check our horses. Trip 2003-04-12 Saturday was our longest drive of the trip, through the Mojave Desert and by Las Vegas, Nevada, where we broke for a late lunch and a little rubber stamp shopping at Stamp Oasis . We had a fast food supper in Richfield, and then drove a long time until we broke for the night in Green River, Utah.
