Nothing like a foot of snow to slow progress down in the last few days before departure, but after years of planning and months of preparation, we pulled out of Salida November 1 at 3pm.
After a final stop at the storage unit we headed over Monarch Pass at the blistering speed of 30mph. The burly beast is loaded and we can't wait to start jettisoning some of the ridiculous things we felt we just had to bring.
We came as far as Gunnison and decided to stay. We know and love Gunni and have never felt the love for Montrose, which would have been the next probable stopping place. The Gunnison Inn is a great, pet-friendly place, with a big park right out the door (yes, dogs are allowed in the park).
Good friends are really what life is about. We didn't shed any tears at the storage unit as we left our stuff behind, but we did shed a few as we said those last few goodbyes. We are thrilled to be on the road and finally under way on our journey.
Going to take advantage of the wifi and other creature comforts before taking off for Utah. Sadly, some of the 'administrative tasks' didn't get finished.
