Saturday we decided to geocache in Fruita, Colorado. It is the small town at the entrance to the national monument. We did several virtual caches--ones where you answer questions & e-mail answers to the owner of the cache. The first cache was at Colorado West Slope Vietnam Memorial. We saw the helicopter when we arrived on Thursday, but didn't get back to view it until we went caching.
It was a nice memorial. The names of those who served are on the wall around the memorial.After we found our answers, we drove downtown. The main street was closed due a bike rally of some sort. Mountain bikers were everywhere. We were told that next weekend the street cycles will be in town (not motorcycles, but street racer bicycles). Many street bikes were practicing going up and down the Colorado Monument road!
Saturday evening we took a walk around the campground and met a couple from Great Britain. They sailed their boat across the Atlantic to visit friends in the Caribbean and Maine! After visiting Maine they decided they wanted to see more of the USA so they moored the boat in the Chesapeake, flew to Florida to visit other friends and bought an rv. They have been traveling in it since November. Their daughter is flying in to Salt Lake City to go with them to Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. We enjoyed our visit with Mike and Angela.
Sunday will be another travel day! I hope it is better than the last one!
