Awake: 5:55am Temp 32 sleep 6+00 sunny overnight @ Green River, Utah.
The mountains blocked an early sunrise wakeup for Kathy but she sure enjoyed the extra sleep.
I was glad I reeled in the water hose last night as the ground surface was frozen early morning.
We left the A/OK RV Park @ 8:35am & continued heading east on I-70. So far, I-15 & I-70 Interstates have been, for the most part, very smooth. Kathy shot a few photos along the way to Denver. Our camera was (2) time zones off so it was really 10:23am when we came upon these tunnels; which we think are near the Colorado Canyon Area.
When we passed through the city of Grand Junction, we gave a big wave to Tom & Marge who we hope to see in Denver over Easter time.
We were tempted to stop for a visit but....we want to spend a little time with Katrina before she leaves for spring break, & Denver has a forecast of snow tomorrow, so we hope to get in & parked before the white flakes start flying.

Through the canyons....still on I-70.
We are not sure; is this Silverthorne?
The Eisenhower & Edwin C Johnson Memorial Tunnel
Elevation: 11,158 ft. At one point, we were getting 1.5 miles per gallon.
Going downhill we were getting about (99) miles per gallon; hey, that what the gages read.
From I-70, we changed to State Road-470, then U.S.285 to Hampden & the Flying Saucer RV Park; arriving @ 2:35pm. We checked in @ the Flying Saucer office & then proceeded to our campsite.
Today's travel: 346 miles 6+30 time 61 gallons used 5.7 mpg 53 avg speed.
Kathy did a marvelous job guiding me into our campsite, which is the 3rd time we've been in this exact spot. After getting ourself organized, we call Katrina & leave a message. She returns our call later & we gab for 21 min. She is still at school so we plan on a get together tomorrow evening.
Dinner: Tuna & noodle with asparagus & bread.
Evening movie: "The Member of the Wedding" with Ethel Waters, Julie Harris, Brandon de Wilde, Arthur Franz, etc. Carson McCullers sensitive account of child Harris prodded into growing up by her brother's forthcoming marriage. Slow but worthwhile.1952. Slow but worthwhile???. Not recommended for nighttime or daytime viewing.
Lights out:12:06am.
