At this point I turned the camera off and just settled in for some long and tedious driving through the beautiful mountainous area of Colorado. Interstate 70 passes through several high passes from Grand Junction to Denver as I recall the highest was Overland Pass at 11,992 feet elevation. The bypass around Denver is such that you hardly see Denver except off in the distance. I had planned to spend the night just east of Denver but there were no motels close to the interstate and soon there were no motels at all so I kept going and at a one places they had no vacancies. I finally got to Limon, Colorado and stayed at a nice Comfort Inn and it sold out just a few minutes after I checked in. This is so typical of this vast area. Every hundred or so miles you will find an intersection at which will be a couple of large truck stops, a couple of motels and fast food places. I got me a salad at Sub Way in walking distance of the motel and ate dinner in my room. It has been a very long day with a lot of stops and walking plus I did not count it but I have driven between 600 and 700 miles today. Tomorrow is another busy day so to bed I go thanking God for his watch care and protection throughout this wonderful day.
As always remember that God Loves you and so do I.
Today's thought: " Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? "
