Day 15 - Sunday

Our time is running a little short now. Jamie has to be to work this Wed. and I would like to be home Wed eve or Thurs to give me a few days to rest up before I have to be back to work. So we decided to start winding back towards Colorado.

We take 89 north, another scenic byway according to the map. Turns out the map was right and we enjoyed another good stretch of road.

We found ourselves needing a east - west road to head towards Breckenridge. Looks like we finally have to get on the interstate for awhile. That would be I-70 heading towards Colorado. Interesting that this is also Route 50 coming over from Nevada. I checked the map and it turns out that 50 runs all the way to the Atlantic ocean. Hmmmm, sounds like a future trip!

Saw a sign declaring Moms to be the best restaurant anywheres!

OK - I don't know about the best anywhere but the grilled trout for lunch was tremendous!

Neither of us had been on this section of I-70 before and it was very scenic.

When 50 separated from I-70 we took it to the southeast towards Montrose. We got in around 7 pm and caught dinner and turned in around 10. We were right on the edge of the Black Canyon National Park and planned on hitting it in the morning.

Day 15 = 408 miles
