Sept. 6 day 35 OTR

It was a wonderfully cool night and not too much noise around us in Green River, Utah.  This KOA provides free coffee via a Keurig Machine - so many flavours and also muffins and danish for breakfast.  Green River is not big and is basically a stop off point for travellers with several motes, 2 campgrounds, a grocery store, a beauty shop and not too much else.

This morning we decided to take a detour to Arches in Moab, UT.  We visited here 20 years ago and since we have revisited some of our first trip stops, we thought we would stop here, too.  And since we have the National Parks pass, this park was free.  So off we went.

We drove the whole park and walked a few of the trails.  This of course didn't get us out of Utah until after lunch.  Moab is no longer the sleepy town it was 20 years ago.  There is a Subway but no McDonald's.

We drove through Colorado and are stopped on the east side of Denver in Limon, CO.  The Rockies were in a haze this morning .  We eventually climbed to 11900 feet at the Loveland Pass just before the Eisenhower tunner which is about 2 miles long or so.  We crossed the Continental Divide while we were in the tunnel.

By 6 pm we were out of the mountains and over 9000 kms driven.

I have posted some Arches pictures on the link above along with a picture of our sunset in Colorada.  This picture kind of sums up what we have been doing - we ran into this camper in Arches.
