Spring into Colorado
We woke up to an overcast cool day on the Colorado River. We had a leisurely breakfast and then headed out towards I-70.
Our first stop was at the Colorado welcome center in Fruita. Our primary need was to dump and flush out our waste tanks on the camper. After finishing that chore, and looking at the Western Slope Vietnam Memorial, Marianne headed for Engstrom's chocolate shop, where she bought some chocolate for us and as gifts.
We stopped in Edwards for lunch, and then went over Vail pass and the Eisenhower Tunnel. The drive up to the tunnel was snowy, as shown in the photograph above.
We arrived home to discover that Spring had arrived in full force in Colorado. The flowering trees were impressive, especially since we don't see them every year.
It is time to be home. Lots of chores to do. We will probably head out to Holly Colorado to help with the tornado relief there.
Richard and Marianne.
