Great trip summary! Me and the fiancee have been talking about making a similar trip next year. I'd love to see a map of the route you took too, that would certainly help us plan better.

Anyways, hopefully we can meet up sometime soon. Cheers!

Great report and good commentary. I see the max speed of 100mph :Wow1: ....that must have bee coming over one of the passes in Colorado w/no brakes right

Thanks much....

Thanks so very much for the compliments and feedback, it is really appreciated. I thought I would post a couple of other pics that didnt make it into the narrative that I still wanted to share:

The town of No Name, Colorado. With names like that, and Silt, and Rifle, you just HAVE to love Colorado!

Interstate 70 is quite the pretty drive through this region, with the highways stacked upon each other running next to the Colorado River, view from the No Name rest area, looking back East:

Gotta have a pic of the Overland Journal decal in a natural setting....

Lastly, my sister Lisie has her own photography business, Caught By a Flash, and she is very talented with photoshop. She took a few favorite pics out of my collection and worked her magic upon them.

South of Grand Junction CO

FDR 610 on Kaibab National Forest

Thanks again sis for your fabulous work! And again, everyone else, thanks for the kind words....deeply appreciated.

Wonderful trip and photos...nothing like a good long road trip to recharge...love that feeling of utter exhaustion after a long day on the road seeing sights and the excitement of waking up a few hours later to do it all over again!

Awesome pictures! I want to make the same kind of trip again once I'm done with school, but take a month or so! Looks like it was a great time!
