Day 82 ~ Wide Open Spaces Tour 2012 ~ MoAB to CO for Tabi's 5th Birthday

Drive from MoAB Utah to Brighton CO was eventful !


Hard to leave such a beautiful RV site ~ the view in the morning was amazing

Jeep Safari week started 3.31 ~ we saw several groups like this getting organized to hit the trails  (Brian & Amanda looks like fun !!)







Grapevines with blooms already


Spillway ~ Colorado river

Not a big fan of tunnels into mountains !



why are they half circle openings?  we are square !




Fisherman on the muddy Colorado River


Glad that tunnel is for trains !


Why Round?

The Colorado River here was pretty! 
Lots of White Water rafting today










There is some WHITE WATER !  and Yes that is a kayak on the left!

the end of the river running down left to right on the pictures
Another tunnel !!!!!!


See the other side of the freeway raised?  Wonder if the CO River gets too high (on the right) they only use that top freeway?

doesn't like these roads !!! Under my feet; not on his chair  :-(

Beaver Creek




These were the condos we stayed in in Avon/Beaver Creek 15 yrs ago


Dozer & Amanda:  Remember Leadville ?  Good memory? or bad?  lol



This is when the fun started!  For the next half hour the road was bumpy, steep, and lots curves!!!

In this area we had our air bed BLOW UP like a balloon and POP !!

Also the bumps had things falling out of cabinets that popped open, condiments falling inside the frig...not fun!

. . . .  looks a little TOO low for us!

TIGHT fit !! 

Still skiing in the 10,000+ mountains









TRUCKERS!  RV'S TOO !!!
