Cryslers Are Tripping: November 25 ~ 27, 2014: Finally Grand Junction, Colorado in time for Thanksgiving

November 25, 2014 ~ The drive over the Rockies

The usual driving time from Denver to Grand Junction is just under 4 hours....pending good weather. Leaving Denver for Grand Junction, we ran into snowy weather prior to the Eisenhower Tunnel all the way through Vail Pass. I'll let the photographs tell the story.

Loved the snowy mountain scenes.

The line of trucks went on for a at least a mile.

Yup, saw a few of these!

I kept my eyes closed for awhle!

I thought of you, Paul Boetsch

Couldn't keep my eyes closed for long.
It was just too beautiful.

Such beautiful texture! I think I could like granite if it looked like this.

Almost there..... just a few more miles

First real view of the Colorado river.

Mt.Garfield. And around the corner....
the view of the valley and Grand Junction.

Our home for 2 months.

Sunset view from Amelia and Bobby's home.
That's Mt. Garfield and the Bookcliffs
with the Mesa on the right.
I am so jealous!

Goodness I love this mountain!

November 27, 2014 ~ Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Morning Turkey Trot, a 5K completed with Lee, Amanda, and John

John and I finally got to meet Amanda's love ~ Lee Waltrip!

A terrific young man and he is so sweet to our Amanda!

We are so happy they found each other.

Amelia, Bobby and Bobby's Mom~ Etta Williamson

We enjoyed a yummy Thanksgiving meql at Bobby's Moms home. Thanks Etta for a wonderful meal. We missed Wayne, Etta's husband, and look forward to seeing him in January.
I loved the typical Crysler conversations around the car later that day!

Now I know I am in Colorado!

We must have dozens of
'Cryslers around the car with the hood open'
photographs taken over the past 60 years!
Here's another one to add~
John, Lee, Amanda and Bobby.

Yup! The Snow storm that hit Maine about a week before we left gave us a 'not so nice' present ~
a dent above the right rear door of of our beautiful Passet..

Thanks a lot 'downed limb'!
