after a full day's rest, two nights under a roof, 30,000 calories of the best homecookin' and fellowship with an unforgettable family, we're back on the road!
a few climbs led us up into a beautiful area of colorado that looked & smelled just like northern michigan in the fall. trees starting to change colors, rushing rivers and rocky hills/valleys - we live in a beautiful world.
loaded up with goodies provided by the Burns, we had a great lunch looking out over blue mesa lake. almond butter is ridiculously amazing. I had peanut butter, bananas, almonds, cashews & pumpkin seeds - best lunch we've made on the road yet.
the roads were easy and the wind was light - we could not have asked for a better day coming out of Montrose. made it a little more than halfway to Salida and will face our last major climb (salute) at Monarch Pass tomorrow.
once again, God went ahead of us and provided a free campsite at the KoA in Gunnison. glad we're not doing this on our own (KoA had hot showers and a lounge with a TV!).
watching some college football as I type and feels almost like a typical Saturday evening. yeah, we're pretty spoiled.
until next time,
may the wind be always at your back
