Sunday was a beautiful day. We slept in a little, picked up some supplies, then had lunch together and talked about what we were going to do in the afternoon. It was a sabbath, but not spent in church. We rested for our trip into Utah tomorrow. We praised God for getting us here safely through all the vehicle problems.
Then we took a trip to the Colorado National Monument, located only a few miles from our campground. God outdid himself in the beauty of the monument. It is actually 23,000 acres of beautiful red rock, trees, sandstone rock, trees, and immense grandeur. You rise to a 6,000+ ft. elevation. It is spectacular! I know we're overusing that adjective, but it's difficult to describe. I'm sure our 'Pastor Tim' has probably seen this many times and will corroborate our impressions. We were on the Rim Rock Drive for over two hours. Every scenic overlook seemed more breathtaking than the last. We could see the Colorado and Gunneson Rivers, as well as the city, below. We are so thankful we stopped in this beautiful cityof Grand Junction, Colorado. I'm posting a picture of J and K taken somewhere the highest elevation. Enjoy.
We had a lovely dinner in a great Italian restaurant in Old Town Grand Junction. We will be headed for Moab, Utah in the morning, P's 69th Birthday :)
