Montrose to Grand Junction, ridden it several times just not that interesting. Left Grand Junction ended up on 191 riding through some gorgeous country with winding roads, switchbacks, mountain passes, with great pavement.
Temperatures ranged from warm (80) to low 60's at the top of the pass surrounded by aspens, and pines. Eventually rode the west side of Flaming Gorge before ending up in Rock Springs Wyoming. The claim to fame of Rock Springs, it was the boyhood home of Butch Cassidy. He grew up to be the town butcher hence the nickname Butch before turning to train robbery as a preferred retirement plan.
A very pleasant day exploring some new roads but fairly soon we are going to have to get serious about heading north if we are going to make Alaska.
Added a few pics on home page, hopefully many more to come.

And you are off and riding.....sounds like a good retirement plan! Will miss you, just not quite yet. The "alone" time is much appreciated.
