Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

Another day of driving as we head out of Salt Lake City and into the mountains of Colorado. Lots of beautiful scenery everywhere you look and more windmill farms generating electricity. The eastern areas of Utah have no cities and just a few small towns. What is there are mountains, mesas and weird rock formations. We drove and enjoyed looking out the windows and ate lunch while pulled over on the side of the road.

The weather was warm and varied during the day. We started at in the 80's and 90's and then it rained when we got up around 7000' and the temperature dropped into the 50's. We could see lightning strikes and they were amazing. Luckily the rain stopped and the temp went back up to the 90's. Arrived in Grand Junction, CO around 5:00 pm and cooked dinner and watched TV all night. It is so good to have darkness at night and be able to see the stars. I missed the beatiful night skies.
