Day 3- Glenwood Springs, CO

The day started in beautiful Utah and went on to a different type of beauty called Colorado. How fun it is to ride a sinuous road along a river's path. How impressive to snake through a canyon as if part of the thousands of years that shaped it.

We stopped for lunch in Grand Junction, CO. A very cute town with the most street art per capita of any town I have ever seen. A sample is the prince piece you see here. The local channel 5 news team interviewed us in downtown regarding our opinions on medical marijuana. "Do famed motorcycle travelers Randy and Nathan support the local munchy economy? Find out tonight at 11." It was the first time either of us had been interviewed for television.

After such a busy day, we cruised on down the highway and finished up with a nice soak in the hot springs of Glenwood Springs, CO. Then, an Italian dinner, a bottle of wine, and a walk about town surrounded by the Rockies.
