God's country for sure!

somehow yesterdays entry got lost, sorry about that.
we spent the night in sterling, co and headed towards denver in the morning. an uneventful trip across denver was a pleasant surprise. we were only going as far as eagle or glenwood springs so had time to do a side trip to leadville. this is an old, but nicely kept up town in the lower rockies. fun time walking around town and having lunch. we heard about a train trip on tires and found it down the street. we did it, the guy knows a lot about the area and that made it very interesting. up and down and across most of the streets, lots of historical gossip! it's quite an infamous town with lots of big names.
i think this area (which is quite big) might be the general area that mom lived in as a young girl. i have more information than i did before so will start looking again after we get home, unpacked and rested.
we took a different road back to the interstate, wow! the rivers, the mountains are awesome. we would very much like to come back for a few days. need to soak up a lot of oxygen tho, it's over 10,000 ft.!
we head to moab, ut tomorrow. might stay a couple days and nights. need to do laundry and just kick back. plenty to do around there anyway, canyonlands, arches and town! carole has tried to get me to buy some souvenirs, i keep telling her we aren't out of moab yet!
mom has been left in some wonderful places, today by a beautiful stream, i could just see her working her way upstream with her fly rod. lots of memories come back in places like this.
still won't say when we'll be home, we'll be home when we get home. we are heading west so it might be a sign!
