2011-04-28: Buena Vista, Colorado to Moab, Utah

Yesterday we spent most of the time in the car travelling through the high mountains of Colorado and arrived to a nice and warm Utah.

During our drive we past through Curecanti and Black Canyon.

Curecanti

It was an amazing drive, and every bend of the road stunned us with a new and fantastic scenery.

Black Canyon

Getting closer to Moab in Utah, we drove at the edge of Arches National Park, and followed the mighty Colorado River. It was sooo beautiful. We look forward to see the rest of Arches, and that is the plan for today.

2011-04-27: Arrived to a cold Denver

We left the wonderful Swedish spring with temperatures around 18 C, and arrived after 20 hours travel to a rather cold Denver. We went straight to the hotel, and fell asleep after a nice meal in an Indian restaurant.
We had arranged to pick up our mobile home (or RV as they say over here) in the morning. When we got our RV, we were really happy. The staff were very helpful, and we drove away with a brand new RV that will be our home for the next 5 weeks.

After a couple of hours at Wal-mart we got going. Our plan for the first day was to get to Buena Vista, and after a couple hours beautiful ride through mountains and plains we arrived to a camping ground we had selected in advance. They warned us not to connect the water, as they expected the temperature to be around -5 C during the night. No problem - we have heater in the RV, and blankets :-).
