July 21 - Montrose to Limon, CO
It was such a nice morning! Toby woke up early and enjoyed the quiet, cool, sunny patio and kitchen. Slowly the rest of the household awoke, and we ended up chatting at the kitchen table the rest of the morning away. We then headed to Main St. for lunch/brunch with Susan and Max, and Toby and I headed on the road again.
The drive through the Rockies was beautiful: snow-touched peaks, deep gorges, pretty streams. We’ll certainly miss this landscape as we head towards the prairie Midwest. The air was noticeably more humid after crossing the Continental Divide. Ick. I’d forgotten how much I don’t like humidity!
We stopped for lunch in Colorado Springs, at a fast-food noodle and pasta place. Yum! And drove a little further east. Saw the rising of a gorgeous (Hunter’s?) moon – huge and deep orange on the horizon. Arrived at Limon, a crossroads between Interstate 40 and highway 24. Thought it would be easy to get a motel, but it turns out there’s a kids’ softball tournament right now! We finally managed to find a non-smoking, affordable room after trying 4 other motels on the highway strip. Thankfully, as we were tired.
