Things don’t always go as planned!

Well the plan was to spend a few days in Grand Junction and then head to Glenwood Springs for a couple of days. GJ has tons of recreational lakes and waterways and is a good sized town for emenities. Glenwood Springs was recommended to us by friends.
The day started out with us falling in love with Fruita, CO. Unexpected small town west of Grand Junction. We had the best experience in a little coffee shop downtown. Quaint little town with friendly people. Unfortunately, a woman who was chatting with us looked John in the eye and said, “good luck on your trip and finding where you’re supposed to
be. “ He feels it was a sign to move along.
We then drove to Grand Junction. It took us all of 10 min to drive away. It felt like we were back in California. (Not like Sonoma County. More like Vacaville.)
And long story short with Glenwood Springs. Due to a driving kerfuffle… We ended up missing the historic downtown turn lane and shot back up on the interstate. We decided that Glenwood Springs would be more of a vacation spot for us… Not anywhere to settle. Too remote and too expensive. Dropdead gorgeous though!
We continued on our way and settled in for the night at Chief Hosa Campgrounds just 20 min west of Denver. We aren’t sure what we will do tomorrow. We might pick up a pet sit since it’s memorial weekend? 🙂Read more
