Route 66: Day 24

The Return Trip

Travelled through Colorado today. Stopped in Georgetown to taste some
wine from a vineyard in Palisades, near the Utah border. Seems the
owner has homes in both places. Georgetown is in a windy gorge, not a
place for wine grapes. In fact, one of the other customers was a
couple from Napa.

The picture is from Glenwood Canyon. The highway goes through this
12.5 mile gorge along with the Colorado River, train tracks and a
paved bike trail that is part of the highway (I-70) system. Quite an
engineering marvel, and a beautiful place.

Spent the night in Grand Junction. Had a bit of a problem finding a
park to stay in. Seems there are a rodeo, car show and dog show in
town this weekend. Busy place.
