Re: Crossfires Across America #5 - The Two Mile High Adventure - July 7-10, 2014
Finally made it home. 6450 miles total for the trip.
What a great time put on by the Colorado Group. A big thanks for their time and effort. If I mention names I would be sure to forget someone. The contest, door prizes, goody bags, and the cook-out was over the top. THANK YOU. Anyone that missed this one missed a big one. Tammi and I saw places that we would have never ventured on our own. Awesome time and something we will remember for many many years.
After CAA, we traveled further west through Arches National, Bryce, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, Zion, the upper and lower rims of the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, and finally Petrified Forest.
We stayed over in some small towns on the old Route 66 on the way home. Williams, AZ was a nice place to stay to relive the old times on 66. But for the most part, it was very surprising what has happened to these old towns once the Interstate was built. Many are ghost towns, dozens of motels, gas stations, hardware stores all vacant and falling down. It was really sad to see this. Progress. Also we happened across the Cadillac Ranch.
Many thanks again to the Colorado Group and hope to see you all soon.
James & Tammi
PS - The Crossfire was flawless on the trip. But due to the heat out there, I will need to recover my headliner. It started coming down along the rear hatch and front sun visors. The car is over 10 years old and should be expected.
