Scary Drives

 We moved to Grand Junction, Co. Stayed at RV Ranch a nice old KOA but the price was not bad. We had a nice pull thru site, The town is very nice. It has a couple of breweries that we had to try. The one we liked the best was a little drive to Palisades, CO. It was across the street from Palisades Weedery. So it was kind of fun watching people going in and out. 

Our site at RV Ranch Park.

We took a drive through Colorado Monument National Park. It was one of the scariest drives we've ever done.   

Peggy wouldn't get out of the car! Monster Canyons right next to the road on Peggy's side.


No way we were going down to the edge and look over the side!

Coming out of this tunnel, on the left was what we thought, was a statue of a Desert Mountain Goat, but it was real!

Doesn't it look fake? But he was standing on the edge of the cliff. You can see the road on the other side of the canyon.

And just to our right up the mountain was all of his buddies! We will never do that drive again!


Big Rock!

Then we left Grand Junction and did another really scary drive on our way to Rawlins, WY. We took CO 139. It was a nice drive for the first 50 miles, then it all went to hell. Up a huge mountain 25 miles per hour for a long way up. We got up to 8300 feet high and on a little road.  

Peggy did all the Photos and Video, I was a little busy driving. After that scary part it was not too bad of a drive.

On the way, there were these tall fences to deter the many deer we saw from going out on the road. But they had these access places for them to get by the fence if they did get on the road.

Rawlins is kind of a small town and it has rained every day so far! My repair job on the small leak has worked great! No Leak so far. The park we're at is a giant parking lot with power poles. It's not bad. We are going to take the Frontier Prison tour before we go, pictures to come.

    1. Your motor home really got a workout! I always hated having a semi behind us going down the mountain 🤮

    2. That sounds like an interesting drive—I can’t believe we haven’t done it since we’ve been to Colorado so often. If you ever have problems with your rig, I recommend Inland Truck in Grand Junction. I was pretty impressed with them.

  2. That mountain goat looked like a statue
