On the move towards California

We had a grand time visiting with Amy and Alex at their home outside of Denver. Of course Baxter, Amy’s young miniature dachshund was on hand. What a cutie:

We departed Amy’s yesterday morning, to travel to Fruita, Colorado to stay at the James M. Robb State Park. This is one of our favorite state parks — sites are large, level and paved — and each site has a covered picnic table and room before the next site begins. On a previous trip we triked right out of the campground onto a lovely trail system.

We chose this campground because we wanted to go see Out There Vans in Grand Junction. They are another van customizer that we wanted to evaluate. They do quality work, and felt they could fit our two trikes, but unfortunately if we decide on a van, we want a shower, and they don’t offer that. But it was great to see their work. One of the vans they were working on was for a person with a wheelchair. The van had a chair lift already, but they were installing the bed, kitchen, and cabinetry that was all accessible. Great to see.

We got a chance to walk around the center of Fruita this time. A couple different bike shops and cute shops with great iron art. check it out…

Tomorrow we cross back into California. We’ll have a quick visit with Jo Ann before traveling on to see Paula’s sister in Pismo Beach. Here’s hoping for cooler temperatures!
