We drove out to Grand Mesa since it was raining back in Ridgway. It
was a beautiful drive through wine and orchard country. We stopped at
a roadside market and bought some fresh homemade salsa (which Jason is
eating now while we're driving back) and some ice cold cider which
we're all looking forward to having with dinner. Grand Mesa is drop
dead beautiful. Mountain lakes everywhere nestled in huge pine and
white aspen forests. We took a short hike around the visitor center
and had a blast learning about the different kinds of trees and making
up funny stories about the lonely forest rangers who keep the place.
We took a scenic drive back on a gravel road that had a stunning view
of the valley below. The girls tolerated the drive well, although I
did have to tell them a couple of times to stop asking when we're
going back to the campsite. When ordered to do so, they dutifully
looked out the window and said "wow."
