We left Grand Junction, and headed toward Denver, we wanted to get on the East side of Denver. I don't have any pictures from today right now, but when I go though the GoPro pictures I will post them. We drove though the mountains around Denver. The ride was really nice, we were smart enough to pull over and put on our warm jackets before we got to Vail. We went from super hot weather to very cold drizzly weather.
When we went though Vail Pass we could still see the snow pack still on the mountains. Then we climbed higher and went though Loveland pass the clouds were just stuck in the pass, it was raining and then it started sleeting huge pellets is sleet. Mind you we were in a traffic jam because of construction, which in retrospect was probably a good thing because the driving conditions took a crap. We got through the pass no problem it wasn't an easy ride by any means. We were all freezing the temp dropped to 45 and we were damp to say the least. But we were safe and we made it down.
It was warmer in Denver and dry for now. We are looking for 76, and I look at the time and it's 5 PM..... but, actually rush hour wasn't too bad. We found 76 no problem and were driving on very wet roads, yes, another rainbow too.... and I swear we drove right into it!
We pull over and search for a hotel in the area of Fort Morgan, most of them are full. We finally get one....
We check into our room, have a couple of drinks and dinner, then go over the maps and the weather forecast for east of us.. then crash.... we are fried.
