Hotchkiss to Fruita
Western Colorado is something else...
...and it's taking it's toll. I'm pretty tired today, after having climbed Monarch Pass, ridden the toughest 20 miles in my life from Sapinero to Hotchkiss, and taken a very difficult scenic detour to the Colorado National Monuments, a fantastic series of redrock, sandstone canyons (see the pictures).
I'm going to take a day off tomorrow, then head north through Colorado for a bit to avoid riding on the interstate through Utah. Which, if I tried, would result in unwelcome police attention. So, north for a bit, then west again.
I know I've resorted to abbreviated posts lately, and I do apologize. I'll try to catch you all up on the highlights of my trip soon. Until then, peace unto you...

I see you have a glow about you, a certain Southern tan. And where'd all that hair go? Did hoodlums cut it off during a slumber?
Yes, the sun will do that to you. The hair was cut way back in Florida, before I left. Short hair is much easier to deal with when out on the road.
...and who are you, by the way?
Safe travels from the Jensen Welcome Center!!
Hope you had cooler weather and was able to make good time.
Great pictures.
