Week 39 The Last week of Great River Road - Week 39 - September 27 to October 3, 2021

Sunday morning ended our short stay with my brother in Boulder, Colorado. We had a nice time the previous evening, at dinner, talking mostly about old time and family history. In the morning we had a nice breakfast and took this epic photo of brother and sister

We set off for Utah and took the interstate that goes through Grand Junction.  I had been looking forward to this route because it is a stunning drive through the mountains, and you could see the signs of fall on the hillsides.

We decided to go to Moab and visit with Paul's parents, Bruce and Vonda Louthan.  They are really great people and fun to talk to.  They say that they are planning to go on another mission soon....to Nauvoo.

Jan told us about a cutoff at the little ghost town - or maybe no town at all anymore- of Cisco that takes you to Moab without going on the interstate,  It was a fantastic drive, and I think I took a "puzzle worthy" photograph along the upper Grand Canyon.

Monday morning we headed north for Orem to visit with Ivan and family. On the way we stopped in Green River to visit the Green River Museum.  It was worth the admission.

We got to Ivan just after the boys got home from.  It was so good to visit with them.  WE went out to dinner at a ramen noodle place and picked p Evan to go along with us.

Tuesday morning, after a late departure, we headed for Oregon.  Spent the night at a rest area just east of Ontario.  Got home late after.. Happy.  Good to be home!

I spent the rest of the week working in the woods, cutting down trash trees and bushes and burning them.  Holley trees are the worse!
