Heading North

After the rally, we headed up 550 from Silverton and stopped to get a temporary fishing license so Holly and Rosemary could fish in Wyoming on the way back to Montana. We drove through Grand Junction, CO and, at the time, I didn't know that my nephew would be coming here from Germany as an exchange student. I would have checked out the town more.

From I-70 we took the scenic route up 139 through NW Colorado and found a nice place to boondock off a dirt road near Douglas Pass - more BLM land. We kept hearing an animal noise coming from up the hill, but couldn't spot anything with our binoculars. Holly thought it might be a mountain lion calling to her cubs, but we also thought it might be a young elk calling for its mama.
