PacWest Odyssey

Tue 13 - Entering Colorado
Eagle

The Utah border was a quick morning ride once back on I-84. The scenery is rolling hills, and sage brush, just before it turns mountainous. The air is hot and dry. This remarkable fair weather continues to bless our journey. After a couple of hours in the car, we found a decent restaurant in Salt Lake City. A quick tour down Temple Ave. and we were back on the road. The route was increasingly beautiful as we travelled into the Rocky Mountains, the stomping ground of my childhood vacation memories. High winds and looming thunderstorms brought us to the Best Western hotel in Eagle, CO. The ride was uneventful, but we were all riveted by the conclusion of Under the Dome, the audio book by Stephen King, which has provided thirty hours of in-car entertainment, and the subject of countless discussions over meals and campfires since the start of our PacWest Odyssey.
