12/4/2019 – I drove 177 miles- from Lakewood, CO to Battlement Mesa. I am totally overwhelmed with the beauty, diversity and power of the Colorado River Basin. Friggin AMAZING what water erosion looks like – deep canyons, large vastness where seas/lakes once resided, massive rocks abutting into the sky.  Western Colorado is magnificent! 
We are so blessed to live in the US where Mother Nature shows us miracles every mile. I awoke to a snow storm and more was coming so I put on my big girl pants and drove away from the storm.
