Wednesday, September 16: Today marked the beginning of the end of Jim and Mary’s Great Adventure as we began the 1500 mile trek back home from our last park stop in Moab, UT. I have gained even more respect for the skill required to pilot our 9 x 30 foot home on wheels through the terrain we have covered. As we drove back north to meet up with I-70 once again we saw this sign of God’s protection in the sky to the West …

About an hour later we crossed into the state of Colorado.

We drove through the Rocky Mountains and reached an elevation of over 10,000 feet. The drive felt at times like being on a roller coaster. In one area we were amazed at how compressed the roadways and railways had to be to fit in the canyon and follow the river.

Once we passed through the city of Denver the landscape changed quickly and dramatically as we entered the plains (appropriately named). We ended up reaching the town of Fort Morgan for the night. The area reminded me of Scottsbluff NE which we visited several times when Lisa and PJ were living in Wyoming. After I checked the map I discovered we are almost directly south of Scottsbluff.
