CO and part of UT

On our way through Colorado we stopped at the Continental Divide.  Pretty high and dry air. 
humidity about 12%,  temp about 95.

Steamboat Springs for a coffee and the scenery.  Like most of these towns, the car comes out between two huge mountains or cliffs and there the town lies about 1,000' below, laid out like a grid, toy size.  We had some of the best coffee at Mountain Brew.  To our surprise there was a rodeo, string concert, and massive Ford Mustang show closing 6 blocks of the main street with cars in mint condition.  Drew knew all of these cars especially the Shelby Cobra. He said, "The original ones were the AC Cobras that Shelby did as a racing buff.  He took little British racing cars and beefed them up with Ford suspensions, and then Shelby did Shelby Mustangs for Ford and made them super fast."

The rest of the day we followed the winding, surging Colorado River through the western side of the state into Utah.  I will say repeatedly that these pictures are a very poor representation of the actual.  Pictures just cannot get the enormity of the countryside.  Nothing in New England is big compared to the west.  This Colorado, surging to the tippy top of its banks here is the source of all water with its tributaries, Green, Virgin, etc.  And somewhere along the way at some of the dams, Hoover or Powell the engineers control the flow further west.

Must quit as we are heading out.  Trying to catch up with some of what we did.  But we're going at the same time so it's hard to fit everything in.  Having a ball.  So much to see.
