I’m not where I planned to be, the idea was to cross the Rockies on I-70, get through Denver and then decide what the next move is.<\/p>\n
From Baker I ended up in Salina, UT at the wrong rv park. But I did make it to Green River, UT and picked up some melons. I also had a tire swapped with my spare because the it was wearing out quickly. This needs serious mechanical work which I need to get done before continuing further. Grand Junction is the natural choice for this type of stuff, but I don’t know where to go. And it’s the weekend.<\/p>\n
Just to confuse things, there’s a big bike ride here this weekend filling up the parks and rv parks. That’s why I’m in Palisade, the nearest rv parking place with a vacancy.<\/p>\n
I-70 is the most scenic interstate in the nation. I always turn off south to Moab, so the stretch up to Vail I haven’t traveled on yet.<\/p>\n
Palisade is alongside the Colorado, in between two mesas. It’s a cute town, filled with winerys and peach sellers. Peaches were the last thing I expected to come across, and they are very good (I didn’t expect grapes here, either). The rv park I found is next to a bend in river, an old peach orchard being converted to a top-notch rv place, only a year old. It’s a very nice place, but pricey, too much for me if I need to wait around for shop time. I’m thinking of moving after the bikers leave town.<\/p>\n
So I’m broken down in a place I know nothing about, in a region with gorgeous scenery, a million things to see and do, at one of the nicest rv parks I’ve seen. More later…<\/p>\n
PS. Grand Junction has some very strange roundabouts chained together which is terribly confusing, but it also has a freeway interchange where you drive on the left side of the road. Bizarre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
