Fernykat threw a fit when we left Pam and Chuck's this morning. She loved it there.
Lauren sounded like a tour guide as we were traveling I 70 West. He was really getting into the scenery, saying, "70 degrees, at 10:30 am, Colorado National Monument on the left, Book Cliffs on the right." It seemed to calm Fernykat down a little bit.
We stopped in Fruita, Colorado to empty the tanks. A really nice welcome center with a Vietnam Memorial.
We traveled across Douglas Pass. It is one of the roughest, tightest, curviest, passes we have been on. Fernykat usually does not care about the road, but this road added insult to injury. First off she had to leave Pam and Chuck's, then she had to deal with this. She was a lot happier once we were over the pass. And so were the rest of us.
We are camped at Buck "N" Bull Campground in Rangely, Colorado for a couple of nights. The campground has a little more industry surrounding it than we prefer, but we have all the comforts of home.
We took a gusty, windy, ride to the Dinosaur National Monument starting at the Canyon Visitor Center and ending at Harper's Corner. Lauren stopped for a break from the wind at a boondocking campsite on the way out of the park. Then the wind calmed. It was a lot more pleasant ride out of the park when the wind calmed down. WHEW!
On the way back, we saw several pronghorns, several deer, then a herd of pronghorns with a big ole buck herding his harem to safety. Beautiful.
When we made it back to camp, Ferny had to come out. She spotted a rabbit in the driveway. It kept her interest for a while. This campground is almost Ferny approved.
We ate chili cheese burgers tonight while watching the sunset. It was a really pretty sunset, the only problem is all the industrial buildings that are between us and the sunset. Oh well, it's only a couple of nights, and we can't expect a perfect view every time.
